and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
1151. Fragaria. Fromfragrans, in allusion to the perfumed fruit. Fraisier, Fr , Erdbeere, Get., and Tragolo, 
Ital. This is a genus of fruit-bearing herbaceous plants, of which there are few in the vegetable kingdom, 
and none to equal the strawberry in wholesomeness and excellence. This fruit is universally grateful, alone, or 
with sugar, cream or wine ; and has the property, so valuable for acid stomachs, of not undergoing the acetous 
fermentation. Besides the species or subspecies enumerated, there are upwards of sixty mongrel varieties or 
different names, some of which, recently produced from seed, are of great excellence. The strawberry is not 
only a valuable and easily cultivated out-door fruit, but forces well, and with a little trouble in choosing a suc- 
cession of sorts, they may be had at the dessert every month in the year, though during the three winter months 
they are without flavor. 
In cultivating the strawberry an open situation and rich loamy soil, rather strong, is required for most 
varieties ; and from their large mass of foliage and flowers, they must, till the fruit is set, have copious sup- 
plies of water. The row culture is most convenient, and frequent renewal insures vigorous plants and large 
fruit. 
1152. Comarum. A name given by the Greeks to the Arbutus. The Comarum of the moderns produces a 
fruit not unlike that of the Arbutus. 
1153. Potentilla. In allusion to its supposed potential virtues in medicine. These, however, appear to con-
