Cannells’ Floral Guide, 1904« 
ERI0:6 DB TBfiyOUX (1902) — Much the best of all the Bautbois section, producing 
•iluantitiee of lovely red fruit during the end of July and through August. After this i’t. JosepA 
and St. Antoine de Padoue, with good management, carry the Strawberry crop all the summer 
aud antumii. Free grower ; runners must be kept cut off. This is a real acquisition, and should 
be in every garden, if only for the children to pick and eat. Is. each j 8s. per doz. 
SAINT ANTOINE DE PADOUE -The frnit is much larger and finer than St. Joseph, 
and of a most excellent flavour, firm, and of good keeping qualities. An incontestable improvement 
on St. Joseph. It has also proved to be a good forcing variety. Open ground runners. Is. Gd. per 
doz. ; 7s. Gd., per 100. In pots, ils. G</. per doz. ; 18s. per 100. 
OREGON — Said to be superior to St. Joseph. Highly recommended, yielding fruits as large as 
Hericart de Thury. It commences bearing fruit early in the summer, and continues until frost, the 
fruits appearing freely on the young runners as well as on the main plants. The flavour is of 
the first quality, and they are highly coloured. Open ground runners, 2s. per doz. 
PERPETUAL SAINT JOSEPH or RUBICUNDA, LARGE PRUITED-This 
is really the first true perpetual large-fruited Strawberry ever offered. The flower stems are 
produced in succession from May to autumn, and bear an abundance of fruit, for which reason 
some slight support to them is almost indispensable. The fruit is of good size, dark red in colour 
(also red inside), solid, firm, very juicy, and of first-rate quality. Early runners planted separate 
during summer have also produced a very good crop the same autumn. Open ground runners. 
Is. per doz. ; 5s. per 100. In pots, 2s. per doz. ; 15s. per 100. 
LOUIS GAUTHIER — Frnit 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 
aud early autumn. Open ground runners, Is. ]ier doz. ; lit. per 100. In pots, 2s. per doz. j 
Ifis. per 100.
