STRAWBERRIES. 
We have this season potted up many thousands of tho linest varieties of tho undermentioned, whioh are now well 
established in pots, and which we will guarantee to fruit next year, if planted out. So much disappointment is 
often experienced when runners are put in late, unless previously established, that we are sure this method will be 
most satisfactory. Where the plants are required at a distance, detention on the journey, or unfavourable weather 
for planting on their arrival, will be obviated, as they will not suffer like runners just taken up ; tho extra cost will 
be amply compensated by the extra vigour of the plantation. 
Runners in pots, price 12s. 6 cl. per 100. 
Runners not potted, our selection, 25 of a sort, per 100, 3s. 6(7. ; 100 of a sort, 3s. 
Per 100 — s. (I. 
Bicton Pine 5 0 
Black Prince (Cuthill), early, small, but good 
cropper 5 0 
British Queen (Myatt), fine flavour, requires 
high cultivation 5 0 
Carolina superba (Kitley), fine flavour 5 0 
Comte de Paris, fruit large and handsome ; a 
nseful kind 5 0 
Crimson Queen (Donbieday’s No. 2), fruit 
large, cockscomb shape, very much corrugated 
and irregular, with a coarse surfaoe, flesh red, 
solid, and firm, briskly acid flavour ; late 
variety and great bearer 5 0 
Dr. Hogg (Bradley), resembling British Queen, 
but very large and a better grower than the 
Queen; one of the sweetest Strawberries 
grown, and — like Sir J. Paxton and Oscar, 
by the same raiser — will become a favourite, 
and be generally grown. It received a First 
Class Certificate from tho Royal Botanic Society 
in 1865, and the same distinction by the Fruit 
Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society 
this season in pots, 15x. 10 6 
Eleanor (Myatt), very late, large, and a good 
bearer 5 0

Filbert Pine (Myatt), extra fine flavour, and 
heavy cropper, and continues a long time 
bearing 5 0 
Frogmore Late Pine, this is a late variety, 
and an abundant bearer, coming in with the 
Elton , but much less acid than that variety ... 
General Havelock (Tiley), early, large, good 
flavour 5 
Goliath (Kitley), a well-known old kind 5 
5 0 
Hautbois (Myatt), the best of its class 
Keen’s Seedling, an early and good sort .... 
Mr. Radcliffe (Ingram). This fine Strawberry 
originated at Frogmore ; the fruit is large, of 
a bright red colour, and ripens to the point ; 
as regards quality, it quite equals the British 
Queen — in fact, it is a Queen with a robust 
constitution, which is quite sufficient to recom-

recommended 7
