is the White Bush Alpine. Excepting the 
colour of the fruit, which is pure white, it has 
every characteristic of the previously de- 
scribed variety. The third variety is the 
Red Monthly Alpine. This plant produces 
runners quite freely. The new plants pro- 
duced on these runners will bloom and bear 
throughout the first season. In this way it 
is possible to keep up a succession of straw- 
berries from June until the fall. The fruit 
is very similar to the Bush Alpines. How- 
ever, it is a little larger. The fourth variety 
is the White Monthly Alpine. There is very 
little difference between this variety and the 
Red Monthly, except that the fruit of this 
is pure white in colour. The great value of 
this strawberry is for a conservatory plant 
where the runners make a very desirable pot- 
ted plant, trailing over wire screens or hang- 
ing from baskets or boxes in the window 
garden.”
