^ IIK iibove-niimetl gentleman, residing at Stoke, Devonport, the raiser of the well-known lovely 
White Chrysanthemum Mrs. Geurge Uundle, and which has now been admired for many years, 
f must be included with the very few genuine amateur raisers who love their gardens always 
with the purest intentions, and doing all that is possible to benefit horticulture. He has raised 
many seedling Stniwl)erries, but this is tlie gem; he Siiys for a new variety this possesses above and 
beyond what most otlier new sorts cannot lay claim to, and that is, “an advance on all other kinds.” 
Like us, he is an admirer of British Qiirrii — that lady and Strawberry seem to liave become noted 
about the same time — no other bore compari.son to its lovely flavour until Geo»(/e made its 
appearance. This has the same delicious taste, large cockscomb-shaped fruit, ami 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 as being the best distinct variety yet raised for eating since 
British Queen, and producing three times the quantity of fruit, 
2s. each ; four plants, 6s. ; eight plants, 9s. ; twelve plants, 10s. 6d.
