popular in the South, where it is
grown simply for its decorative effect.
Here, OF course. is golden oppor-

A derlard," but it is true, there
are strawberry trees that are grown
in Southern gardens. The tree is
from Europe, and it loves warm
climates and must be sheltered from
the wind.
In such favorable conditions the
tree will reach height Of 80 feet,
but those who have been growing these
trees successfully have trained them
so they will be broad and spreading
shrubs of about Is feet.
There are many interesting things
about this tree. First it is evergreen,
and has lovely. glossy, saw-toothed
foliage that is dark green. The flow
ers arrive in the autumn, and are
sometimes white and often rosy red.
They are in clusters like tiny bells
and are fragrant. The insects hover
over them with intense concentration.
The tree at the same time is covered
with rosy fruit that is rough and
about one inch in diameter.
To see a strawberry tree in full
bloom is one of the joys of a South
ern trip in late autumn. At first
the fruit is of a greenish caste, then
1t is brilliant orange color, and when
1t is ready to fall 1t is bright straw
berry red.

have it for ornamental purposes.
