Book excerpt: Excerpt from Success With Small Fruits Of all small fruits the Strawberry is probably of the greatest commercial importance in this country, and on the maryland-delaware peninsula the culture has attained an importance second to no other part of the country, since soil and climate favor the production of the finest plants and the most plentiful fruiting. In no section do the plants make better root-systems, and wherever the plants grown here have gone they have made a reputation. There is no plant that so adapts itself to soils of all descriptions as the Straw berry. It is a fruit that can be grown anywhere, in sandy or clayey soils. But certain soils seem to be better adapted to certain varieties than others. While good drainage is essential, there is nothing that the Strawberry delights in more than a moist soil. Of course, it does not want standing water in the soil, but a soil that, while well-drained, has the water table only a few feet down, and in which there is a constant rise of capillary moisture, will always produce the heaviest crop. Late berries, like the Gandy, always do better on soils of this character than on high and dry soils. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
