Excerpt from The Strawberry in North America: History, Origin, Botany, and Breeding This book completes a survey of the strawberry as grown in North America. Modern cultural methods are presented in a companion volume, "Strawberry-Growing," and all of the more than 1800 North American varieties are described in Technical Bulletin 11, Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, Blacksburg, Virginia, "North American Varieties of the Strawberry." The present volume deals mainly with the origin and history of the North American type - one of the most interesting chapters in our pomology. The assistance of many pomologists and cultivators is gratefully acknowledged, more especially of Matthew Crawford, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. A number of the illustrations are borrowed, for which acknowledgment is made in the List of Illustrations.
