TWO SUPER STRAWBERRIES' N.Z. NEWEST AND BEST VARIETIES—“JOE’S PROLIFIC” and “UTIKU.” ONE of N.Z.'s foremost growers states “These two varieties are the best I have grown in my 32 years of commercial strawberry-growing. They are complementary to each other, the ‘Joes's’ being an enormously heavy cropping EXTRA EARLY variety, producing beautifully-shaped, flavourful berries up to lioz. in weight, with a crop record of 230 to 350 berries per plant. The berries of ‘UTIKU’ come a month later than ‘Joe's,’ and are equally good. The ‘Utiku’ has a definite second crop in February, and its two crops bring it right up to the ‘Joe's’ in productivity. I will be growing only these varieties from now on.” (Name and address available for further comment). PRICE OF EACH VARIETY, 5/- doz., £l/12/6 per hundred, £l4 per thousand.
