The Strawberry And Its Culture PDF Download

Excerpt from The Strawberry, and Its Culture: With a Descriptive Catalogue of All Known Varieties AN annually increasing interest is felt in this country in the cultivation of strawberries. Every year brings with it new varieties, and a better knowledge of old kinds, new methods, and a clearer insight into the merits and defects of those heretofore practised. The old days when the wood strawberry, the Early Virginia, and one or two now forgotten kinds supplied the market, and when a man who picked fifty boxes a day was held to be a large strawberry grower, are past and gone. We have now scores of varieties for each one of the old kinds, and single commission houses sell sometimes twelve thousand boxes a day.
