NEW SECOND EARLY VARIETY: 
10 “BEDFORD CHAMPION.” 
Award of Merit, R.H.S., 1905. 
T HE largest Strawberry in commerce ; the fruit is often 2 oz. in weight, 
with 6 in. circumference; skin bright scarlet, the flesh being white, 
fruit broadly conical, sweet and luscious in flavour, borne on enormous 
trusses of great size and vigour; dark green leathery leaves. The distinct 
and vigorous character of this variety stamp it as being a Strawberry that 
will grow anywhere, and if for size only, will be a notable addition to the 
list of best varieties. — After careful testing through several seasons, it has 
proved itself to be a good forcing variety.

NEW MAIN-CROP VARIETY: 
“LAXTON’S CROPPER.” 
B EST described as a much improved Fillbasket , possessing the heavy 
cropping qualities of that variety, though of larger size, of better 
colour and flavour. The fruits are of a rich crimson colour, bluntly 
conical in shape, with white solid flesh ; firm, medium in size, of luscious 
flavour, good grower, strong constitution, and a good forcer.

T HE result of a cross between Vicomtesse H. dc Thury and a selected 
seedling : a variety of heavy cropping qualities ; the fruits are of large 
size, rich flavour, bright scarlet in colour, conically wedge shape, firm and 
solid. A variety that may be expected to do well on any soil.

NEW MAIN-CROP VARIETY: 
139 “THE BEDFORD.” 
7A mid-season fruit of exceptional merit ; one of the best main-crops yet 
I* sent out ; a cross between Dr. HogganA Sir Charles Napier, A. combines 
the rich flavour of the former with the colour of the latter, but is a much 
more vigorous grower than either. In shape it is bluntly conical ; in colour 
a very bright shade of scarlet; the flesh is white and solid, a very heavy 
cropper, and a strong vigorous grower. The flavour is most delicious, rich 
and luscious, with a beautiful aroma. The season for ripening is about the 
same time as SirJ. Paxton , or rather later. For a Main-Crop, where quality 
and quantity is a desideratum, this variety can be strongly recommended.
