TREATISE ON FRUITS. 



THE STRAWBERRY. 



The leading design is to prove, that the 

 Strawberry is to be considered a, plant of 

 shade, naturally, or a native of moist and 

 shady situations, which clearly appears, 

 by arguments we have adduced, that it is, 

 and that it is consequently unfit to plant 

 on all soils, and in every situation indis- 

 criminately : and to point out and recommend 

 a system by which their culture may be ef- 

 fected, with the utmost certainty of obtain- 

 ing ample crops of Superlatively large and 

 fully ripe fruit in the driest season, (in which 

 their fruitage generally fails from drought or 

 heat,) on being protected by temporary shade.
