FRENCH EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY, ‘'SAINT-ANTOINE DE PADOUE.” 
FRENCH EVERBEARING LARGE-FRUITED STRAWBERRY, 
“Saint=Antoine de Padoue.”’ 
HIS 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- 
owing spring, and continue to bear, though more sparingly 
throughout the summer. In addition to this, the plants 
hrow out strong runners which form new plants, and if not 
“ut from the parent plants will also fruit the same season, 
hus giving a continuous supply of delicious strawberries until 
rost. This remarkable strawberry is the result of a cross, 
yroduced in France, between the everbearing ‘‘Saint Joseph”’ 
ind the famous English strawberry ‘‘ Royal Sovereign,”’ and 
t has proven to be superior to all other perpetual straw- 
berries. It is of compact, vigorous growth, the fruit stalks 
ure strong and 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 Nationale d’Hortioulture de 
France.” Price (pot-grown plants), $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 
100.
