fine seedling, but entirely distinct. The fruit is very large, conically wedge shaped, very firm fleshed, and exceedingly 
rich and luscious in flavour, which cannot be said of most of the latest at present in commerce. ’ Strong himners

seed parent. It excels both these varieties, and is a much bettor doer than either. Vigorous and free-cropping, 
especially as a yearling plant. Fruits are very largo, mostly of a cockscomb shape, of a rich crimson colour, fine 
flavour. Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society. Ground Runners, Is. per dozen; 5s. per 100. Strong, in

beyond the loaves in most surprising quantities. Good acid flavour, free and strong, for fiell growing one of the 
best. This variety is not recommended for forcing. Open Ground Plants, Is. per dozen; 5s. jrcr 100. Plants in
