NEW INTRODUCTIONS— continued. 
LiAXTON’S PROGRESS^ — Raised from British Queen and Latest of All, will add another to the list 
of Rood Latcs. The flavour is really rich, partaking much of the Queen type. The colour is a bright scarlet, with 
white inside flesh. In size it is very large, of flattie wedge shape ; fruit produced in large clusters with bold vigorous 
foliage. A wonderful grower, and does exceedingly well on almost any soil. The variety is really late, ripening 
with Eleanor and Waterloo. Open Ground Runners, 4s. per dozen ; 20s. 100. In 'pots, 5s. per dozen ; 30s. per 100. 
PRESIDENT LOUBET. — Large dark crimson fruit. A seedling from Waterloo ; a fine late variety.

LAXTON’S REWARD.— Grand New Mid-Season Strawtaerry.— Award of Merit, 
Royal Horticultural Society. Raiser’s description ; — “ Handsome new Main Crop variety the result of crossing Royal 
Sovereign and British Queen. It may best he described as a greatly improved President for size, colour, and flavour. 
Strongly recommended. ” Strong Runners, 2s. jier dozen ; 10s. per 1 00. In pots, 4s. per dozen ; 20s. per 100. 
LAXTON’S BEDFORD CHAMPION.— Enormous New Second Early Straw- 
taerry. — The result of a compound cross between Scarlet Queen and John Ruskin, and Nolle and Sir J. Paxton. 
Raiser’s description :j-“It therefore contains a mixture of at least four distinct bloods, and it is to this that we 
attribute the exceptional vigour and size of this variety, for it is without doubt the largest Strawberry placed in 
commerce. Distinct and vigorous, will grow anywhere, and if for size only will be a notable addition to our list of best 
varieties.” Strong Runners, Is. per dozen ; 5s. per 100. In pots, 2s. 67. per dozen ; 15s. per 100. 
LAXTON’S LATEST.— Raiser’s description Without exception the very latest Strawberry to ripen its 
fruit, and is at least a week later than Waterloo and other lales. Raised from a cross between Latest of All and a very 
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 Lv/nners, 
Is. per dozen; 8s. per 100. In pots, 2s. 6d. per dozen ; 15s. per 100. 
LAXTON’S THE BEDFORD.— The Finest Main Crop for Flavpup, Appear- 
ance, Vigour and Crop. — Raiser’s description : — “A mid-season fruit of exceptional merit, and we have no 
hesitation in saying it is the best Main Crop we have yet sent out, good alike for the amateur or market grower. 
Strong Runners, Is. per dozen ; 5s. per 100. In pots, 2s. 6d. per dozen ; 15s. per 100. 
qIVON’S late prolific.— I t is a cross between Waterloo Latest of All, fhoiovmexhomg the 
seed parent. It excels both these varieties, and is a much better doer than either. Vigorims and free-cropping, 
especially as a yearling plant. Fruits are very large, 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 
small pots, 2s. per dozen; 15s. per 100. 
THE LAXTON.— The fruit stalks being extraordinarily long, the fine dark berries lie out round the plants 
beyond the leaves in most surprising quantities. Good acid flavour, free and strong, for field growing one of the 
best. This variety is not recommended for forcing. Open Ground Plants, Is. per dozen; 5s. per 100. Plants in 
pots, 2s. per dozen; 14s. per 100.
