We hud daring the summer our 100-feet house of these, grown 
specially for trial and seed. None were better than those 
now offered. 
CULTURE . — Sow in February or March in heat, pot, and 
gradually harden off, so that they may be ready to plant out the 
latter part of May to a sheltered location. For indoor purposes, 
get good plants in 4 or 5-inch pots ; when they show a truss of 
flower they require fertilising or setting with a camel-hair brush. 
As soon as the fruit is formed, plant them out in ordinary good 
soil, 12 inches from plant to plant, pinch out all side shoots, and 
preserve the large leaves ; if fruit fails to form, apply pollen at 
once, so that the plants bear fruit from bottom to top. Pick fruit 
as soon as ripe, and never select any other than fruit full of seed : 
ill-formed ones are disappointing, and often get seedsmen and 
gardeners in bad repute on this account.

CHALLENGER — Granted an Aw.ird of Merit by the/ 
Worshipful Company of Fruiterers at the Guildhall 
Exhibition, 1890. — The fruit lare borne continuously 
in clusters of eight, ten, and sometimes more, are 
of medium size, very solid and heavy, bright scarlet 
colour, excellent flavour, very fleshy, and with but 
little core; a grand exhibition or market kind. It 
is alike good under glass or in the open, but is 
preferable for indoor culture on account of its tall 
growth and profuse bearing qualities ... 1 0
