The strawberry is probably the
most widely-grown fruit in the world.
There are varieties adapted to almost
every climate and condition. from
Alaska to Florida. Our cultivated
kinds have been developed from the
Gillian strawberry and the common
Wild strawberry. The alpine straw
berry Of Europe is the parent of the
ever-bearing varieties which are now
coming into prominence in some
places. They, however, are not as vet
OF SUFFICIENT value to deserve much
attention. The strawberry is one of
the first fruits on the market in the
spring, and hence is always welcome.

the land Is in good condition and the
