STRAWBERRIES. 
GEO. COOLING & SONS devote special attention to the cultivation of STRAWBERRY PLANTS ; 
the Bath district being a large Strawberry producing centre they have unusual opportunities for noting 
and selecting the best varieties. The runners have been carefully prepared, and a good supply is now ready . 
The prices quoted are for strong plants from the open ground, but all the varieties can also be supplied 
established in small pots at an additional charge of 1/6 per dozen, or 10/6 per 100 to the prices mentioned : 
by planting such, a crop of fruit may be almost ensured the first year, or the plants may be grown on, by being 
potted into larger sized pots, for early and late forcing.
