The Strawberry in North America 

 By S. W. FLETCHER 



Illustrated, cloth, ismo 



This work is not only a practical guide to strawberry grow- 

 ing but also a sketch of the evolution of the strawberry in 

 North America, from the wilding of colonial days to its pres- 

 ent position as the most cosmopolitan of American fruits, 

 second only to the apple in commercial importance. The 

 volume includes chapters on the early history of the straw- 

 berry in the old world and the new, the botany and origin of 

 the cultivated strawberry, the rise of strawberry culture and 

 the different ways in which it is practiced in different parts 

 of the country, with something of an attempt to elucidate the 

 principles that underlie these practices.
