Tree Strawberry, Or Strawberry-Raspberry. The Largest and Most Beautiful Berry in the World, and the Most Productive and Easily Grown.

The root is perennial, throw- ing up numerous strong branching shoots, which are covered with its large, beautiful berries the whole summer, from early in July until freezing weather, rendering it a perpet- ual bearer.
