VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES 



The strawberry has been under cultivation in America only 

 a short time, the commercial industry having begun with the 

 introduction of the Wilson in 1854, but progi-ess has been so 

 rapid that the number of sorts introduced in America exceeds 

 2000. Few of these are now under cultivation, for the list of 

 varieties changes every ten or fifteen years. In 1923 more than 

 300 varieties were listed for the United States and Canada. In 

 every part of the continent in which agriculture is practiced, 

 strawberries are grown; no other fruit is more widely distrib- 

 uted. The growing of strawberries is a great commercial in- 

 dustry of the country, and each region in which growers spe- 

 cialize in this fruit has a list of varieties suited to its needs.
