THE CHILEAN STRAWBERRY AS MARKETED IN COLOMBIA. 
(Fragaria chiloensis (L.) Duchesne; S. P. I. No. 51563.) 
Throughout the high Andes, from Colombia southward, the Chilean strawberry is esteemed one 
of the choicest of all fruits. In Colombia, where it is not common, the berries occasionally 
appear in the Bogota market tied together by their stems to form strings a foot or more in 
length. Two varieties are recognized in Colombia — one having fruits of deep pink color, the 
other ivory white. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe at Bogota, Colombia, September 20,
