The Strawberry in North America 
By S. W. FLETCHER 
With illustrations 
This work is not’only a practical guide to strawberry 
growing, but also a sketch of the evolution of the straw- 
berry in North America, from the wilding of colonial 
days to its present position as the most cosmopolitan of 
American fruits, second only to the apple in commer- 
cial importance. The volume mneludes chapters on the 
early history of the strawberry 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.
