make plants more fruitful ; this alone makes what we supply nearly as good again as in the 
ordinary way.

LOUIS GAUTHIER — Fruit of bright pink, large size, and very sweet. Culture — Pick off 
all first fruit and flowers from the old plant, lay out runners, get them well rooted; and from the 
first to the second these throw up trusses of fruit, and give a succession all through late summer 
and early autumn ; useful for forcing. Open ground runners. Is. per doz. ; 6s. per 100. In 
pots, 2s. per doz. ; 16s. per 100. 
PERPETUAL SAINT JOSEPH or RUBICUNDA, LARGE FRUITED— The 
first true perpetual large-fruited Strawberry ever offered. During last season a bounteous crop 
of splendid fruit was gathered up to October. The flower stems are produced in succession from 
May to autnmn, and bear fruit for which some slight support is almost indispensable. The fruit 
is of good size, dark red in colour (also red inside), solid, firm, very juicy, and of first-rate flavour. 
Early runners planted separate during summer have also produced a very good crop the same 
autumn. Open ground runners, Is. per doz. ; 6s. per 100. In pots, 2s. per doz. ; 15s. per 100. 
ALPINE, White and Red. Runners, 9rf. per doz. ; 3s. 6</. per 100. 
SAINT ANTOINE DE PADOUE — The result of a cross of St. Joseph and Royal 
Sovereign, and is distinguished from St. Joseph most essentially by its more vigorous fruiting 
stems. The fruit is larger and finer than St. Joseph, and of a most excellent flavour, firm,' and of 
good keeping qualities. Improvement on St. Joseph. It has also proved to be a good forcing variety. 
Row singular, ripe fruit and flowers on the same truss at one time. This variety is of great 
excellence and of the utmost importance as a grand dessert fruit to all who enjoy the lovelv and 
exquisite flavour of British Queen, as it not only produces a good crop of ordinary-sised fruit in the 
usual season, but with good watering in dry weather and protecting in wet it throws up trusses of 
flowers and fruit all the remainder of the season. Mr. Cannell, Seur., looks upon it as the iuost 
invaluable continuous summer and autumn-fruiting variety in cultivation. For pots it is most 
indispensable, but it has unfortunately one fault — that is— its flower and fruit stalk is too short, 
and to whoever remedies this in a seedling plant, possessing all the merits of St. Antoine de Padcue 
but with good long and strong fruit stalks, we are prepared to pay .£25 for the entire stock, or if 
immune from white fungus £50. Open ground runners. Is. per doz. ; .5s. per 100. In pots, 2s. 
per doz. ; 1.5.«. per 100. 
We respectfully solicit orders for ours, the finest plants and most complete 
collection in England. Swanley is the largest and best Strawberry-growing 
district in the world. 
Seven Acres grown entirely for the Runner Plants, at a distance of 4 ft. from plant 
to plant, on purpose so that every plant Is true. 
Strawberries, like Potatoes, are always more fruitful when given a change of soil, 
consequently success depends a good deal on having runners from a purely different soil. 
Being located in the midst of thousands of acres of all the best Strawberries and Raspberries 
enables us to offer fine plants, and good sure-cropping kinds at the lowest prices. 
Swanley has again this season far excelled all other localities for its quantity and quality of 
fruit.
