Strawberry Plants — Prepared Runners. 
Strawberries when well-grown are wonderfully prolific, and constitute one of the most profitable 
•crops, really good fruit always meeting with a ready sale at high prices. These delicious and wholesome 
fruit should be grown freely in every garden where there is room for them. As will be seen, our collection 
of choice Strawberries, a select list of which we offer below, contains all the finest varieties in cultivation. 
The best system of culture is to plant in rows 21 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row; keep free of 
runners and give a top dressing of well-decayed manure in Winter.

LAXTON’S SCARLET QUEEN. The raiser 
in introducing this new Strawberry thus writes of 
it: — “A most noble Strawberry ! An early and better 
flavoured ‘ Paxton,’ and the finest early variety yet 
introduced. Very early, large, bright coloured, richly 
flavoured, and of handsome appearance. Plant 
vigorous and prolific.” This superb variety has been 
fairly tested at our Nurseries, and fully bears out 
the raiser’s description. The fruit is the brightest 
coloured and the most handsome of any variety we 
know, and it is a very fine early kind that should be 
extensively grown ... ... per doz. 3s. 17 6 
“‘LATEST OF ALL” (Laxton). A grand new 
seedling from British Queen crossed with Helena 
Oloede. The fruit is very large, exceeding in size that 
of either parent, and is certainly the finest flavoured 
and largest late Strawberry yet introduced. The flesh 
is firm and white, the flavour vinous, yet luscious and 
quite equal to that of British Queen , which it most 
nearly approaches in appearance, but ripening from ten 
days to a fortnight after it. It has, indeed, been 
gathered three weeks after other Strawberries are 
past. The plants are hardy, vigorous, and prolific, 
and will thrive on any soil where Strawberries can 
be fairly grown. Will prove a fine acquisition for 
market growers ... ... per doz. 2s. 12 0 
NOBLE (Laxton). This is a very large and hand- 
some, regularly formed, flattish, globular-shaped

firm, and witho ut the objectionable treacly taste 
common to many large varieties ; colour bright crimson 
scarlet. Plant very hardy and vigorous, and most 
prolific, nearly every small ruuner producing wonderful 
trusses of large even-sized fruits with comparatively 
few small ... ... per 1000, 40s. ; per doz. 9d. 5 0
