On Strawberries
Strawberries are thought to have been cultivated in ancient Rome. The
strawberry, as we know it, was originally grown in northern Europe, but
species are also found in Russia, Chile, and the United States. The berries
seem to be strewn among the leaves of the plant
The plant first had the name strewberry, which later was changed to
strawberry. In France strawberries were cultivated in the 13th Century for use
as a medicinal herb
The first American species of strawberries was cultivated about 1835 and the
first important American variety, the Hoveg, was grown in 1834, in
Massachusetts. The hybrid variety was developed in France
