THE STRAWBERRY QUESTION. 
There has been a great deal of controversy 
among a portion of the Horticultural world, 
about the sexual character of the strawberry 
plant, and varieties have been generally classed 
as stamina le and pistillate, or “male” and 
“ female.” It lias been held, as we find it con¬ 
cisely stated in the Prairie Fanner, “that 
the strawberry plant, when grown from the 
seed, takes upon itself one of the three follow¬ 
ing forms of sexual character. It is either 
what is called perfect— i. c., having perfect 
stamens, or male organs, and perfect pistils or 
female organs; or it has almost or quite wholly 
a male organization—being fully provided with 
stamens, but no pistils; or it has only a pistil¬ 
late organization with no stamens. Whatever 
be its character in this respect, it is said to 
maintain it fixedly through all its propagations 
—the runners will always produce the like to 
the plant which sends them out. It has also 
been held, that no plants wholly pistillate will 
alone ever produce a fruit. Perfect plants 
will be fruitful, and pistillate will become so by 
the presence of a staminate plant for their 
impregnation; and a staminate jilunt will also 
prove fruitful in some small degree.” 
This theory has been before the -world for 
attic %xt$, da.
