The strawberry originated from tho
wild strawberry. People took up tho
wild strawberries and planted them
In their gardens. By fertilizing and
cultivating, the plants produced
larger berries, and by taking tho
pollen M om one I lower and fertilizing
the flower of another plant, It made
different berries grow on the flower
that was fertilized by tho pollen of
the other flower. Ily doing thiB dif
ferent varieties were originated.
The American botanical name is
Krngarin Vlrgininna, lt originated
from the Anglo Saxon word "strenw
berige," which got Its name from the
resemblance of the runner of the
plant to straw.

Secretary -K War Garrison advanced
the proposal, however, that the ma
rines advance to another concrete rail
way bridge sixteen miles from the port
city and that operations Uvoud that
point he Intrusted to the army. How
ever, the naval contention was accept

the plan decided on contemplated that
the bridge eight miles from Vera Cruz
should he held by the marines uud that
any operations beyond there should be
undertaken by the regular troops

This plan was originally drawn when
it was feared that disorders in the cap
