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, out collection 
of choice Strawberries, a select list of which we offer below, contains all the finest varieties in cultivation. 
The best system of culture for the production of really fine and richly-coloured fruit is to plant in 
good deep rich soil, in rows 21 feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row ; keep the plants free of runners 
and give a liberal top dressing of well-decayed manure in Winter. 
GRAND VARIETIES OF REGENT INTRODUCTION. 
ROYAL SOVEREIGN (Laxton). This fine variety ripens a few days after King of the Earlies, and in the open air 
the first fruits are ready with Noble. It may he fairly looked upon as the long sought early, highly-flavoured, and improved 
Sir Joseph Paxton , and just the fruit wanted to precede that popular variety. Per 100, 20s. ; per doz. 3s. 6d. 
SENSATION (Laxton). An enormous second early or mid-season variety of good flavour, and probably the largest 
Strawberry ever introduced. First Class Certificate, Gardening and Forestry Exhibition, 10 th May, 1893. Per 100, 10s. ; per doz. Is. fid. 
COMPETITOR (Laxton.) A very large, handsome, and luscious early fruit. A good doer in every respect, and will 
probably displace Nicaise for forcing purposes. Per 100, 7s. 6d. ; per doz. Is. 6d. 
LAXTON’S No. 1 . The Earliest of all Strawberries. This precocious Strawberry is a seedling from Noble, fertilized 
by May Queen, and is unquestionably the earliest in the market. Per 100, 20s. ; per doz. 3s. 6d.
