FRENCH EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY, "SAINT-ANTOINE DE PADOUE. 



44 



FRENCH EVERBEARING LARGE=FRUITED STRAWBERRY, 



Saint=Antoine de Padoue." 



THIS NEW large fruiting French Everbearing Strawberry 

 possesses remarkable characteristics when grown 

 under congenial conditions. Our pot-grown plants of 

 these — set out this summer, should fruit bountifully the fol- 

 lowing spring, and continue to bear, though more sparingly 

 throughout the summer. In addition to this, the plants 

 throw out strong runners which form new plants, and if not 

 cut from the parent plants will also fruit the same season. 

 thus giving a continuous supply of delicious strawberries until 

 frost. This remarkable strawberry is the result of a cross, 

 produced in France, between the everbearing "Saint Joseph" 

 ami the famous English strawberry " Royal Sovereign." and 

 it has proven to be superior to all other perpetual straw- 

 berries. It is of compact, vigorous growth, the fruit stalks 

 are strong aad erect, carrying the fruit well above the foliage. 



The fruit is large and of a rich dark red color — handsome and 

 uniform in shape — firm, of delicious flavor, and keeps exceed- 

 ingly well. It is a true perpetual strawberry, producing 

 splendid berries during the whole summer up to October, and 

 is also adapted for forcing for winter fruiting. The French 

 gardeners, when they want an abundance of late fruit, cut off 

 the first flowers from the large plants and also keep the run- 

 ners cut. which throws the vigor into the late fruit; others, 

 besides, keeping the flowers cut from the large plants, allow 

 three or four first runners to root only, thus throwing the 

 strength of the parent plant into the young plants and depend 

 upon these to furnish the late fruit. It received a first-class 

 certificate from the " Societe Nationalc d'Horticulture de 

 France." Price (pot-grown plants). $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 

 100.
