Strawberry Plants— Select List. 
New Strawberry — Laxton’s “Noble.” 
This is a very large and handsome, regularly formed, flatfish, 
globular-shaped early Strawberry, coming in a few days after 
King of the Earlies and Black Prince, and of a rich and vinous 
flavour, flesh firm, and without the objectionable treacly taste 
common to many large varieties ; colour bright crimson scarlet. 
Plant very hardy and vigorous, and most prolific, nearly every 
small runner producing wonderful trusses of large even-sized 
fruits with comparatively few small ; as Noble ripens in the open 
air before forced Strawberries are over, the highest prices have 
been realized for it in Covent Garden Market during the past 
four seasons. In 1885 the first consignments made 4s. per lb., in 
1886, 3s. per lb., in 1887, 3s. 6d. per lb. Awarded a First Class 
Certificate by the Royal Horticultural Society, July, 1886.

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 2i feet apart and 18 inches 
apart in the row ; keep free of runners and give a top 
dressing of well-decayed manure in Winter. 
New Strawberry. 
“Latest of All” (LAXTON). 
A GRAND new seedling from British Queen crossed with Helena 
Gloede. 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. It has, indeed, been gathered three weeks after 
other Strawberries are past. The plants are hard}', vigorous and 
prolific, and will thrive on any soil where Strawberries can be fairly 
growu. Will prove a fine acquisition for market growers
