 duction of the seedless strawberry, as already 

 pointed out, must be the final stage of the process 

 of development. When the seeds are gone, there 

 will obviously be no further opportunity for im- 

 provement by selective breeding, with or without 

 hybridization. But long before the seeds are bred 

 out, we shall doubtless have many varieties of 

 strawberries that approach perfection as to all 

 other desirable qualities. 



Nature has done much for 

 the luscious strawberry, but 

 there is still as much or 

 more for us to do.
