' s SOMETHING WORTH GItOWING. » NEW STRAWBERRY i [ "LAXTON'S NOBLE" I ' I . _v ; Thia naw Strawberry has established itself In 5 the Home market as the Very Best Strawberry, ■ under cultivation. The fruit is large, firm, and ; handsome, the bright crimson scarlet berries '' weighing as high as 26z eachj while the flavour is1 rich and vinous. Besides these recommendations, t "THE NOBLE" is one of the earliest fruiting 1 Strawberries, and We have no hesitation in Saying ■ that it is undoubtedly THE Strawberry for growers' I of this favourite fruit. , j I ■ ; i [■ The following is eztraetdd from the Otago 1 Witness of 2nd January 1896 :— " New Strawberry : ' Laxton's Noble.'— . . 8 ' This Strawberry excels both in size, flavour, and j appearance anything we have had in NBW Zealand . before. . . . Some of these fine bcrrießwere ' sent by the Countess of Pembroke to the Emperor ' of Germany, each berry being about the hits of ttn ■ apple. They were paid to be larger than had ever been seen before. Tbe fruit arrived in excellent ; condition, not a berry being crushed, Speaking well both for the packing and the travelling qualities of the berries. On the average the ' berries Weighed 2oz each. They were not big, ugly fruit, but were full and handsome. -. . . 'Laxton's Noble1 Strawberry conies early into bearing, and is a very heavy bearer, ahd it should be very serviceable for any cottager with small garden space or for market gardeners, as it iB a splendid grower and a heavy cropper, coming early into fruit. Mr Bennet has on young plants, laid in the spring, eight to ten large berries, averaging, say, 2oz each. They iire fine hbndEOKM berries, and of good travelling qualities."
