Strawberry Plants — Select List. 
NEW STRAWBERRY— SCARLET QUEEN. 
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. 
NEW STRAWBERRY- LAXTON’S SCARLET QUEEN. 
The raiser in introducing this new Strawberry thus writes of it: — “A most noble 
Strawberry! An early and better flavoured ‘ Patton,’ and the finest early variety yet 
introduced. Very early, large, bright coloured, richly flavoured, and of handsome appear- 
ance. Plant vigorous and prolific.” 
A superb early variety that should be extensively grown per 100, 30s. ; per doz. 4s. 
“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 flavored 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 ... per 100, 12s. ; per doz. 2s. 
A. F. Barron (Laxton). Very fine. First Class Certificate, Boyal Horticultural Society ... per 100, 7s. 6d. ; per doz. Is. 6d. 
Commander (Laxton). One of the most distinct and splendid Strawberries yet raised ... per 100, 7s. 6d. ; per doz. Is. 6d. 
Laxton’s Noble. Large and handsome fruit. Early and very prolific. Will be universally grown per 100, 5s. ; per doz. 9d.

Asparagus. 
An abundance of fine Asparagus may 
be grown with less than half the expense 
usually incurred in making costly 
“beds,” and will succeed admirably on 
most soils when planted in lines or 
clumps on the Kitchen Garden borders, 
or amongst dwarf-growing Fruits where 
the space will admit, a liberal cultivation 
being all that is required to ensure the 
best results. The roots are liable to 
injury if removed during severe woather 
in Winter. They are best planted when 
growth has commenced in Spring, and 
when they can bo carefully taken up and 
packed so as to travel a long journey, if 
necessary, without injury. They should, 
however, in all cases be planted as quickly 
as possible after receiving them. We 
consider March and April the best months 
for planting in the open ground. 
Connover’s Colossal. Two and 
three years old 
per 100, 5s. and 7s. 6d. 
True Giant. Two and three years 
old ... per 100, 3s. Cd. and 5s. 
Sea Kale. 
This valuable esculent is easily forced 
if care is taken only to apply heat grad- 
ually, as it will not succeed if placed in 
too high a temperature at starting. 
Place several crowns a few inches apart 
in large pots, aud stand them in a tem- 
perature of about 45 degrees, with an 
inverted pot placed over each to exclude 
light and insure blanching, a mushroom 
house, pit, or cellar, will do well for this 
purpose. Sea Kale may also be easily 
forced in the open ground by covering 
it over with large specially made pots, 
and applying fermenting material. The 
heads should be cut when in about the 
condition shown in illustration, and taken 
oft' in the same way.
