[714] Most of the largest cultivated strawberries are the descendants of
_F. grandiflora_ or _Chiloensis_, and I have seen no account of these forms
in their wild state. Methuen's Scarlet (Downing, 'Fruits,' p. 527) has
"immense fruit of the largest size," and belongs to the section descended
from _F. Virginiana_; and the fruit of this species, as I hear from Prof.
A. Gray, is only a little larger than that of _F. vesca_, or our common
wood strawberry.
