Wilo Strawberries.
Strawberries have Improved very
much In flavor Fince the fifteenth
rentury. I'ntil then the only straw
berries eaten were wild strawberries
of a kind that would never find a
market nowadays. By 14S0, however,
they were beginning to be cultivated,
for llolinshed records under that
date a particularly fine crop grown
by the Hlshop of Ely in the grounds
ot his palace, now covered by llatton
Garden.
He quotes the Duke of Gloucester
as saying to the Bishop, "My lord,
you have very good strawberries In
your garden in Hoiburn. I require
you to let us have a mess of them."
This speech was copied almost verba
tim by Shokespeare in "Richard III."
Still, even the Bishop's fru.t would
not oppeal much to modern connois
seurs, for the garden strawberries at
that period were only transplanted
wildlings, the plants being sold at
about 4d. a bushel. London Chron
