Excerpt from Modern Strawberry Growing
It is more than twenty-five years since a complete book on this subject has been published.
It would seem that this particular crop had been somewhat neglected except for the work of the horticultural experimenters at the various State and Government Experiment Stations, and through reports published in the farm papers of the work by practical growers. All this available material on the subject has been taken and "boiled down" in the shape of a practical book, in the interests of the general farmer and amateur gardener, so that they may produce a more than liberal quantity of this healthful, delicious fruit for their own use, and obtain more real pleasure and benefit from a small plot of land intensively devoted to this crop than from any other crop requiring the same amount of care and attention.
