SEEDS OF THE STRAWBERRY 
Part of the surface of a large, fully ripe strawberry is here shown, highly magnified. The 
shriveled pistils can still be seen projecting from under the seeds, except in a few cases 
where they have been rubbed off. As the edible ‘‘berry”’ is functionally merely a structure 
to carry the seeds, its size is roughly proportional to the number of seeds borne. 
therefore probably never be possible to breed a seedless strawberry, or even to reduce 
the number of seeds materially, for to do so would leave no reason for the existence of the 
“berry’’ and it would therefore not be formed. Photograph by John Howard Paine.
