The Wisconsin Ambrosia strawberry was developed by A. E. Lang from 
ino?een small plants which were found growing in a meadow in June, 
I9L7. These plants were the offspring of a seedling of the previous 
year. Two years of cultivation developed this amazing variety. 
DESCRIPTION OF PLANT 
Wisconsin Ambrosia are the largest strawberry plants ever seen or 
ea.rd of. They grow so vigorously that plants one year old reach 
a height of twenty-two inches, and the leaves grow from eight to 
twelve inches in width. The fruit stalks are large and stiff. They 
grow to a height of eight inches; thus the berries develop in the 
s ade of the leaves and also off the ground which means clean fruit, 
urtnermore the blossoms are protected from the last spring frosts. 
The flowers are perfect; therefore no other varieties need to be 
planted with Wisconsin Ambrosia.
