Légende
The new Strawberry, "Sir Harry", 1854. Variety of strawberry produced by Richard Underhill. 'Till within the last thirty years, but little attention was paid to the cultivation of the Strawberry, and there were not above five or six sorts known...By crossing, change of climate and situation, there are now many hundreds of sorts; for, they can be multiplied infinitely by skilful inoculation of the varieties...Frogs and toads should be encouraged: they seek the beds for shade and subsist upon snails, blackbats, and other ins-cts that so frequently disfigure and destroy the finest fruit'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
