STRAWBERRIES. 
What a lovely refreshing fruit ! And when we hear it is the firm belief of the highett 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 that mankind can possess. — =^=====z= 
“ROYAL SOVEREIGN.” 
CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST IN CULTIVATION. 
This variety has now been grown and tested and subjected to all kinds of conditions and seasons, 
and has fully confirmed everything p'-eviously said of it, so that it is now universally admitted on all 
sides to be the best introductiou since Sir J. Paxton, and should be extensively planted in every 
garden, totally setting aside many of the older kinds which we have discontinued growing.

Queen of Denmark — liaised from Frogmore Late Pine crossed with 
Waterloo. It is new in colour, firm in fiesh, very prolific, and At in 
flavour ; it has every indication of becoming the Strawberry of the future 
for forcing and general culture ; a gem.

LEADER. 
First- Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society, May lith, 1896. 
An enormous handsome mid-season Strawberry of 
rich Pine-like flavour. 
The fruit is of enormous size, of a bright crimson or carmine shade of 
colour, flesh and skin firm, and of a dark scarlet tint throughout, the seeds 
sot in shallow basins projecting beyond the surface, the frnit travelling 
well — flavour very rich and Piiie likc, with a pleasant aroma — plant very 
compact in habit, and a robust grower. The variety was raised from 
Latest of AH crossed by A'ohle. For forcing purposes Leader is likely to be 
in great request, for which purpo.-e we recommend it to follow Royal 
Sovereian. It forces very freely, the trusses setting well, with little if any 
artificial fertilisation, and its compact habit is a great point in its favour.
