strawberry grower of Destelbergen, near Ghent.

white, firm, juicy, slightly acidulated, and perfumed, 
an excellent and prolific variety, of vigorous habit, 
and remarkably early and fertile, well adapted for 
forcing, and also for general cultivation.—M. Ed. 
Pynaert-Van Geert. 
NEW GARDEN APPLIANCES. 
Tebbs’ Universal Travelling Pot.— Though 
not exactly new’, this is a modern contrivance, and 
comparatively little known. It is however, for 
packing plants, one of the most useful appliances we 
have seen. It is a patented arti -le, not expensive. 
made of brown paper, lined wiih a waterproof com¬ 
position,. and offered in several sizes from 2^ to 6 
inches diameter, corresponding to those of earthen¬ 
ware flower-pots. When used, the plants are turned 
out of the ordinary pots and dropped into paper pots 
ot corresponding size, and the marginal lobes being 
folded down, are ready for packing closely into ordin¬ 
ary boxes or baskets in the usual way. Not only are 
the roots thus carefully secured, and space economised, 
but the weight of the ordinary pot is got rid of, by 
which means one important item, cost of carriage, is 
greatly reduced. The advantages claimed are that 
plants put into these pots are more portable, and may 
be packed and transmitted at less cost and less risk 
of breakage than when sent in the ordinary flower¬ 
pot—advantages which may doubtless be admitted. 
The figures show the pot and the plant after being 
placed therein, in one case with the margin open
