STRAWBERRIES SHOWING 

 VARIATION 



This picture illustrates the variations 

 of fruits that may be expected even if 

 all were grown on vines from the same 

 berry. By selection, each type of berry 

 here shown might have its peculiarities 

 greatly accentuated. Such variation 

 forms the basis of experiments in selec- 

 tive breeding. Only forms and colors 

 can be depicted here. The qualities of 

 firmness, tenderness, sweetness, acidity, 

 aroma, and flavor, as well as vigor and 

 productiveness, must always be taken 

 into account. Also notice the various 

 forms of the calyx.
