THE AMERICAN STRAWBERRY 1 59 



1825 held the opinion that the Pine, Bath 

 Scarlet, and Black strawberries all belonged 

 to the F. Chilcefisis. The Dutch gardeners 

 also held this idea, as well as the Dutch mer- 

 chants who sold the Pine strawberries under 

 the name of Fragaria Chilcensis anancsformis, 

 Duhamel also claimed that the seeds of the 

 F, Chilcensis would produce the Pine straw- 

 berry. 



The conclusion, therefore. Is that the gar- 

 den strawberries, although greatly changed 

 or modified, are direct descendants of the 

 Fragaria Chilcensis, or Chile strawberry.
