STRAWBERRIES. 
What a lovely refreshing fruit 1 And when we hear it is the firm belief of the highest 
in the medical profession that if we were to eat more we should hear less of gout, rheumatism, 
and other pains ; and seeing how easy Strawberries are to grow, it should be the set determination of 
all to cultivate their own, and have them with all their beautiful freshness, morning and evening, 
as long as possible ; and when so, they are one of the greatest charms and benefits that mankind can 
partake of. 
NEW LATE STRAWBERRIES. 
QUEEN ALEXANDRA (Wright) — Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, 
July 16th, lyoi. The result of a cross between Waterloo, a popular and very distinct coloured late 
variety, and Latest of All, a large good-flavoured very late-flowering kind; this in turn was crossed 
by Frogmore Late Pine, a very desirable and. excellent bearing Strawberry. Rooted runners, 
fi.v. per doz. ; strong, in small pots, 7s. 6rf. per doz. 
QIVON’S LATE PROLIFIC. — Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society. It is a 
cross between Waterloo and Latest of All, the former being the seed parent. The raiser considers 
it excels both these varieties, and is a much better doer than either. It is remarkably vigorous and 
free-cropping, especially as a yearling plant. Fruits are very large, mostly of a cockscomb shape, 
of a rich crimson colour, not quite so dark as Waterloo, and of a much finer flavour than that 
variety. Ground runners, 3.5. doz., 20s. per 100 ; strong, in small pots, 30.5. per 100. 
LAXTON’S CLIMAX (Late) — The result of a cross between Latest of All and Waterloo, 
and in habit and appearance it is intermediate between its parents, partaking of the enormous 
cropping qualities of Latest of All and the firmness of Waterloo. The flavour is very rich, and 
the colours bright glossy crimson; flesh firm and solid. Its constitution is very hardy, and the 
foliage is smooth and leathery, rendering the variety a splendid mildew-resistor. Bids fair to make 
a standard fruit to follow Sir J. Paxton or other mid-season varieties. Open ground runners, 
3s. per doz. ; 20.s. per 100. In pots, Us. per doz. ; 30.5. per 100. 
NEW LARGE-FLOWERED EARLY STRAWBERRY. 
THE LAXTON — The ideal amateurs' and market growers’ fruit. A fruit that everyone 
must grow 1 An earlier, darker, firmer, and improved lioyat Sovereign. 
We believe this to be by far the finest of the many introductions, and to have combined all 
the good points of those two fine varieties from which it was raised, viz. : Royal Sovereign and 
Sir ./. Paxton, and believe it to be the most wonderful Strawberry for earliness, size, firmness, 
quality, hardiness, and vigour of plant combined. The demand for this variety has been already 
very large, and as the stock is small and is fast selling out we must ask for early orders. Open 
ground plants, Ss. per doz. ; 60s. per 100. In small pots, 10.5. per doz. ; 60s per 100. 
TRAFALGAR (Late) — Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, 11)00. An exceptionally 
fine late variety, of rich pine flavour, equalling Royal Sovereign in size, crop, and colour, and 
as late as Waterloo. As a really good late variety it is anticipated to attain as great a popularity 
as Royal Sovereign has done amongst the earlies. A good traveller and an exceptionally good 
grower and cropper. Open ground runners, 2.5. per doz. ; 10.5. per 100. In pots, 3.5. per doz. ; 
20s. per 100. 
FILLBASKET (Mid-SeasonO — First Class Certificate, York Gala, 1900. Raised from 
Royal Sovereign and Latest of All. 'The colour is a good bright scarlet, the flesh is white and firm ; 
the flavour beautifully juicy, yet sweet and luscious. The cropping qualities of this variety are 
most remarkable ; it carries more flower-spikes than foliage, and the individual trusses with as 
many as thirty fruits on each. It ripens its fruit with Latest of All, ani as a mid-season to late 
variety, we know of no Strawberry that can bear any comparison with it. As a second early forcing
