﻿JANUARY 1 TO MARCH 31, 1916. 41 



41964 to 41990— Continued. 



41972. " Devon. Fruit large, round, keeping a bright red when ripe ; 

 remarkably vigorous and very fertile. On trial here, but highly 

 commended by the raiser, Mr. Pyne, of Topsham, who introduced 

 it in 1904." 



41973. " Norwich Wonder, Fruit large, round, ripening earlier than 

 other sorts; very fertile and vigorous." 



41974. " Profusion. Berries immense, dark red, round, of delicious 

 flavour ; vigorous and prolific. A variety raised near Maidstone 

 and introduced by us. Can be highly recommended." 



41975. " Golden Drop. Fruit deep golden, round, pleasantly fla- 

 voured ; canes strong. A continental variety of which the original 

 name has been lost ; we name it as above provisionally." 



41976. " Guinea. Fruits conical, deep yellow, very rich and sweet; 

 canes of moderate growth. This variety is a Yellow Superlative, 

 and the variety sent out under that name is practically identical." 



41977 to 41987. Feagaeia spp. Rosaceae. Strawberry. 



41977. " Merveille de France. Autumn fruiting ; fruit enormous ; 

 growth free but compact ; very rich flavour in June." 



41978. "St. Antoine de Padoue. Autumn fruiting; berries globular, 

 ripening well, of bright red colour ; habit more vigorous than 

 others ; the summer fruits are also abundant." 



41979. •' St. Fiacre. This is a grand autumnal bearer. The berries 

 are as large as Royal Sovereign, freely produced, bright colour, 

 and rich flavour. The finest yet produced." 



41980. "Countess. Fruits handsome, wedge shaped, dark crimson; 

 moderate cropper, but in point of flavour quite first rate. F. C. O. 

 R. H. S." 



41981. "Filbert Pine. Robust grower; dull orange red, brisk in fla- 

 vour ; succeeds in light soils ; enormous cropper." 



41982. " Fillbasket. Bright red, good flavour ; enormous bearer ; 

 very good for main crops ; flowers late and is thus useful in posi- 

 tions liable to frosts; makes few runners." 



41983. " Givon's Late Prolific. Dark dull crimson, firm, roundish 

 oval, often three sided, of rich brisk flavour. The very finest of all 

 the late sorts; a heavy successional bearer; fruits extra large 

 and handsome, with good constitution ; flowering late, with abun- 

 dant foliage. A Herts customer reports a splendid crop — seven 

 fruits to the pound." 



41984. " Hibberd's George V. Our trial plants, although placed in 

 a bad position, gave us wonderful berries on July 8, 1913, after 

 the ordinary crops were passed — quite 14 days later than Sir 

 Joseph Paxton. The fruits were large, some cockscomb shaped, 

 very bright shining scarlet in colour ; flesh carmine, very firm, and 

 the flavour was equal to the best. We confidently recommend this 

 new variety to all growers and have raised a large stock in order 

 to offer cheaply." 



41985. " Laxton's Latest. A very fine variety ; shining deep crimson, 

 fine flavour; moderate growth; enormous in size, yet firm, ap- 

 proaching 2 ounces."
