Virginia STRAWBERRY PLANT Scarlet STRAWBERRY PLANT. Du Ch. 



For a long time this strawberry plant in our gardens has been known as the scarlet 

 strawberry plant, little scarlet, Holland strawberry plant, Bar bary strawberry plant, 

 Capron, &c. Its numerous & very leafy offshoots make it bushier than most of the other 

 strawberry plants. 



Its leaves are large, a slightly bluish-green on the inside & lighter on the outside. 

 The teeth are longer, narrower, & sharper than those of any other strawberry plant. The 

 leaflets, often more than five inches long by three-&-a-half inches wide and narrow near 

 their origin have a very distinctive elongated shape. The veins are very delicate, not very 

 prominent, & the grooves corresponding to them are more superficial than indented. 

 Also, the leaflets aren't well supported; they're reflexed outward & curl up inward. The 

 material of the leaf is firm but very thin. The surface is smooth. They're held on quite 

 short stalks that have more hair
