They are complimentary to each other, the ‘Joe’s’ being an enormously heavy cropping EXTRA EARLY variety, producing beautifully shaped, flavourful berries up to H oz. in weight, with a crop record of 230 to 350 berries per plant The berries of ‘UTIKU” come a month later chan “JOE’S” and are equally good. The ‘UTIKU’ has a definite second crop in February, and. ; ts 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 vaiiety, 5/- per doz., £l/12/6 per 100. £l4 per 1000.
