Excerpt: The raspberry, with the exception of the strawberry, is perhaps the most cosmopolitan small fruit. It is found native in nearly all parts of North America and in many other parts of the world.
Excerpt: STRAWBERRIES are not generally grown by maraîchers, There are French growers who make a specialty of this work, and they use the same pattern of frames and lights that the maraîchers use. When this crop is grown in the French garden it may take the place of part of the salad crops in the routine for hot-beds.
[Editor's Note: See our Tumbledown Farm Strawberry page for additional notes on growing strawberries in a suburban landscape.]
