“ This fine early Strawberry I consider to 
be by far the best I have yet introduced, as 
it possesses all the qualities required in a good 
Strawberry. The fruit is of the largest size, 
conical, and .sometimes flattened in shape; the 
colour all over is a glossy bright scarlet, the 
flesh e.xceedingly firm and white, the seeds set 
in shallow basins and projecting beyond the 
surface, enabling the fruit to carry well ; the 
flavour is rich, vinous, and quite equal to that of 
British Queen. It ripens a few days after King 
of the Karlies, and here (at Bedford^ in the open 
the first fruits were ready with Noble. The 
plant is very prolific, carrying trusses of large 
fruits which ripen well to the extremity ; it is 
also vigorous, hardy, and a good grower ; the 
foliage very bold, and on long footstalks. The
