We have pleasure i in offering some very fine new Straw- 
berries raised by a noted scientist. They are very vigorous 
and crop much more heavily than the older named varieties. 
All are of delicious flavour, and some have a distinct taste 
not usually associated with Strawberries. Shortage of space 
prevents us from giving more than a brief description, and 
if customers who feel in doubt would give us particulars of 
their requirements—whether early, late, or for dessert, jam- 
making, bottling, etc.—we would gladly make a suitable 
choice and send accordingly.
