“ I2.-Cr:tTIDLE].” 
AN IMPROVEMENT ON "BRITISH QUEEN.” 
f llE ubove-nainod geiitleinan, residing nt Stoke. Devonport, the raiser of the well-known lovely 
White Chrysanthenunn Mrs. Geor//e Rundle^ and which has now beenadmired for many years, 
miKst be included with the very few genuine amateur raisers who love their gardens always 
with the purest intenti'ms, and doing all that is possible to benefit horticulture. He has raised 
many seedling Strawberries, but this is the gem; he says for a new variety this possesses above and 
beyond what most other new sorts cannot lay claim to, and that is, “an advance on all other kinds.” 
Like us, he is an admirer of British Qiineu — that lady and Strawberry seem to have become noted 
about the same time — no other bore comparison to "its lovely flavour until George Bundle made its 
appearance. This has the .same delicious taste, large cockscomb-shaped fruit, and its pleasant juicy 
flavour reminds one, after it is down, of a glass of wine, causing one to smack the lips for another and 
another, instead of looking round for the sugar to reduce the acidity. It is certainly in the same 
way, and a great improvement on British Queen, Dr, Hogg, &c. 
DESCRIPTION.— Fruit and colour like British Queen, light red ; large size, often weighing 
more than an ounce, strong grower, distinct dark green foliage, and fruiting freely. As a new 
Strawberry it will soon recommend itself ns being the best distinct variety yet raised for eating since 
British Queen, and producing three times the quantity of fruit, 
Is. each; four plants, 3s. ; eight plants, 4s. ; twelve plants, 5s.
