. Ne^w Perpetual or Everbearing Stra^^'berry SAINT ANTOINE DE PADOUE. A grand improvement on the St. Joseph introduced a few years ago. Not only being of a stronger and more robust habit, but producing more freely fruit of much larger size and of finer quality. We have personally seen the plants in various parts of Europe during August and September of last year, and â while in each instance the plants had been subjected to a period of extreme heat and drouth, were in full flower and laden with both ripe and green berries, and were assured that a plentiful supply of fruit had been picked weekly during the entire sum- mer. Berries which we measured averaged 4 to 5 inches in circumference, with from 6 to 10 ripe fruits on a single stalk. The plants were vigorous, with fine dark green foliage. We recommend it for trial, especially where it can be planted in a cool, rich soil. 15 cts. each ; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Strawberry Saint Antoine de Padoue. The Most Promising: Strawberry of Recent Introduction, THE GLADSTONE. This variety originated with Mr. F. F. Merceron, who also introduced the Sharpless, which has stood the test of over quar- ter of a century, and is still earning money for its growers, while hundreds of new varieties have since been introduced only to pass out of view, and unless all signs fail the Gladstone will be- come as popular. It is of darker color than the Sharpless, as large in size ; one of the earliest to ripen, and not excelled in quality by any Strawberry grovifn. Strong layers, 25 cts. per dcz.; ; per 1000.
