This is the wild strawberry of Europe (F. vesca), long more 
commonly cultivated in our gardens than any other sort, and 
still, perhaps, the easiest of cultivation, and one of the most 
desirable kinds. It always bears abundantly; and though the 
fruit is small, yet it is produced for a much longer time than 
that of the other classes of strawberries, and is very sweet and 
delicate in flavour. Flowers always perfect. 
Fruit red, small, roundish-ovate. Seeds set even with the 
surface of the fait. It ripens at medium season.

‘This is precisely similar in all respects to the foregoing, ex- 
cept in its colour, which is white. It ripens at the same time.

The common Red Alpine, or monthly-bearing strawberry, is 
a native of the Alps, and succeeds well with very trifling care 
in this country. The Alpines always continue bearing from 
June till November; but a very fine autumnal crop is secured 
by cutting off all the spring blossoms. | The plant resembles the 
Red Wood, and the fruit is similar in flavour and colour, but 
long-conical in form. Flowers always perfect.
