64 GEO. COOLING & SONS’ CATALOGUE OF STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 
ST'RAWBE'R'RIES. 
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 lor 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 f6 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 slic'd pots, for early and late forcing.
