NEW FRUITS OF RECENT INTRODUCTIONi 
^05 
Certificate, I cannot recommend this new variety ; it was dis- 
carded as soon as proved. Suioerlativc still holds the first place 
amongst the reds. F.C.C. 
Sur passe Fastolf. — A variety from the Continent, and a good 
red. 
In Yellow Raspberries we have for a long time stood still, 
but a very large-fruited one may be looked for in 189G. 
Steawbereies. 
A great advance has been made of late years, and all Straw- 
berry lovers must regret that Mr. Thomas Laxton, who has done 
so much in this direction, should not have been spared to see the 
success of his magnificent Boyal Sovcrcigii. 
Laxton's No. 1. — A fine-flavoured variety, and the earliest. 
King of the Earlies. — Another of Mr. Laxton's raising ; 
early, and one of the best for flavour. 
Pioyal Sovereign. — This bids fair to be the finest Strawberry 
introduced of late years, both for garden and market purposes. 
The flavour is excellent, the flesh firm, the berry large, and the 
plant prolific. In season it follows closely after King of the 
Earlies. F.C.C. 
Sensation. — A very fine fruit, but somewhat soft, 
George Bundle and May Queen have not yet been sufficiently 
good with us to warrant me in recommending them. 
Incomparable, raised by Mr. Eidgwell, is an improved Goliath 
of firmer substance. A.M. 
Latest of All. — Another of Mr. Laxton's seedhngs, but un- 
fortunately named, as it ranks more as a late mid- season variety 
than as a really very late one. However, it is one of the very 
best of recent introductions, its fine size. Queen style, and 
splendid flavour marking it out at once for general cultivation.

Empress of India, F.C.C, Gimton Park, F.C.C, and Lord 
Siiffield, F.C.C, are three very fine seedlings raised by Mr. Allan, 
of Gunton Park. They are a departure in the direction of more 
distinct flavour, whereas many recent varieties seem only to have 
aimed at increased size.
