“ NOBLE” 
(Laxton), 
Noblr is a very large and handsome regularly-formed flatti.sh globular shaped Straw- 
berry, very early, and ripening in the open air in Bedfordshire before forced Strawberries are 
over, and ten days before the fruit from Kent and the South-West of England is in the 
market. The flavour is rich and vinous, and without the treacly taste common to many large 
sorts, flesh firm and of a shining crimson colour.
