Our own drawings
- Two drawings of a strawberry. On the left, a whole red strawberry with a green leafy calyx on top and small yellow seed-like dots all over; labels point to the achenes, the true fruits often called seeds, the calyx and the swollen red receptacle. On the right, the same strawberry cut in half, red at the edge, paler pink inside with a whitish core.
Our own drawing - Three drawings of a strawberry plant in soil. In the first, the crown is buried below the surface, marked too deep, the crown rots. In the middle the base of the crown sits on the surface, marked just right. In the third the crown sits above the soil with roots showing, marked too shallow, the plant dries out.
Our own drawing - A plan of a strawberry bed seen from above: two rows of five plants. Plants in a row are 35 to 40 centimetres apart, and the two rows are 75 centimetres apart. A note says that in a container plants go about 20 centimetres apart.
Our own drawing - A drawing of a parent strawberry plant in the ground sending out a long red runner stem. At its end a small plantlet sits in a 9 centimetre pot of compost sunk beside it, held down by a U-shaped wire peg about 15 centimetres long.
Our own drawing - A chart of the months January to December with three coloured bars. Summer-fruiting strawberries crop from early June to early August. Perpetual strawberries crop from early summer to early autumn. Alpine strawberries crop on and off through the summer.
Our own drawing - A rough sketch map with the Americas on the left and Europe on the right. A red dashed line runs from Chile to Versailles in France, labelled 1712 to 14, Frézier brings Chilean plants. A green dotted line runs from Virginia to France, labelled Virginia strawberry already in France. Near Versailles a note says they cross: the garden strawberry is born.
