246 TREATISE ON FRUIT TREES. 



There aren't very many seeds. They're bigger than those on the Bath strawberry, 

 smaller than the ones on the Chilean strawberry, & protrude from the skin the same way. 

 Some are embedded in it ever so slightly. 



Note. The illustration of this strawberry plant shows only one leaf of average size 

 & a leaf that's emerging. The fruit attached to an incomplete stem doesn't have the usual 

 shape for this strawberry. This figure can be supplemented by the one for the Carolina 

 strawberry plant whose stem & fruit, though a bit larger than normal, represent those of 

 the pineapple strawberry plant quite well. 



This strawberry plant & the following one soon deteriorate & die in compact or 

 clayey soil. 



XIII. STRAWBERRY PLANT with large flower, from Carolina. 

 Carolina STRAWBERRY PLANT (PL VII.) 



THIS STRAWBERRY PLANT looks so much like the previous one that it's hard to 

 tell it apart without careful scrutiny. 1°. All parts of it are a little smaller than those of the 

 pineapple strawberry plant. 2°. It has much less hair. 3°. Its upright shoots are shorter. 4°. 

 Its flower buds are more elongated & less swollen. 5°. The sections of the calyx are 

 larger, & the small ones are rarely split. 6°. The petals are a little less wide, & in most 

 flowers there are never more than five of them. 7°. The stem doesn't seem to be as thick. 

 8°. The fruit is smaller, usually uniform in shape, and takes on a little more color. Its 

 exceptional fragrance however isn't as pleasant as that of the pineapple strawberry, which 

 it greatly resembles. 9°. In seed beds of pineapple strawberries a clearly distinct variety 

 has never been found,
