Six natural species are recognized, ah belong- 

 ing to F-vesca. The lUinoensis is the source 

 of the famous Hovey's Seedling and later 

 Qf the Wilson's Albany, whose production 

 marked an epoch in strawberry culture. Some 

 botanists condemn calling it a berry as the 

 iruit or achaena are borne on its exterior.

 as saying. "Doubtless, God could have made 

 a better berry, but, doubtless, God never did."
