Free Strawberries! in 1907
"Red, ripe, and luscious, wild and sweet. Great quantities of them, and they are being carted home daily to be jammed, jellied or eaten in their natural state, with or without cream. Delicious in flavor and appetizing to look upon, they have been eagerly hunted by both young and old, who gather them in buckets, lard cans, basins, tin pans and any and all sorts of vessels that are warranted not to dissolve and lose their precious burdens." - San Francisco Sunday Call, 1907

Delightful quotation. Evokes the taste and scent of wild strawberries and the feel of dirty, sticky fingers licked clean of every possible drop of juice.
This is my first visit to your blog. I hope to find many more such bits of garden lore and info on native plants.
