ity as more gardeners are learning when to harvest and how to prepare 
for the table. They are of easy culture and require only a small space in 
the garden. _ If the fruits are kept picked, they’ will continue to bear all 
summer, Early White Bush should be picked when only 1% to 2 inches 
across and the other varieties should be picked before they reach 7 inches
