THE AMERICAN STRAWBERRY 189 
1825 held the opinion that the Pine, Bath 
Scarlet, and Black strawberries all belonged 
to the F. Chilensis. The Dutch gardeners 
also held this idea, as well as the Dutch mer- 
chants who sold the Pine strawberries under 
the name of Fragaria Chilensis ananeformis. 
Duhamel also claimed that the seeds of the 
F. Chilensis would produce the Pine straw- 
berry. 
The conclusion, therefore, is that the gar- 
den strawberries, although greatly changed 
or modified, are direct descendants of the 
Fragaria Chilensis, or Chile strawberry.
