YET ANOTHER HYBRID 

 VARIETY 



Were it not for the marked difference 

 in the leaves, one might think this bunch 

 of berries of the same variety as the 

 ones shown on the preceding plate. 

 They are, however, very different, 

 although of the same ancestral strain. 

 They represent the segregation of char- 

 acters in later generations, of which 

 we have seen so many illustrations. 

 But with the strawberry, the characters 

 referred to concern the texture and 

 flavor rather than form and exterior 

 color. (One-half life size.}
