FIG. 9-2. A fruit cluster of Little Scarlet, a variety long grown in Europe and which may have been the original form of F. virginiana from which, crossed with the Chilean, our modern strawberry largely descended. Only five flowers of 19 in this cluster set fruit. On heavy soils at Geneva, New York, a much larger percentage sets fruit. (Photo taken June 12, 1924, at Glenn Dale, Maryland.)
