their garden under but unlike others they
are still eating garden fresh strawberries.
The Smith's who haven't grown straw-
berries for the past six years. decided it was
time to prepare for 1983 and transplanted
plants received from neighbours. Lavern
and Marion Godkin. Planted in rich soil
during July. the patch has thrived. When
the plants hloom-d, the Smith's weren't
surprised. They were surprised when tiny
strawberries appeared.
in the last two weeks, Marlynn has picked
one bowl, of large, fully ripened strawber-
ries and the plants are still blooming. She
said 48 plants were transplanted and nary a
one was lost. Those still bearing berries are
carefully covered each night to guard
against frost.

Mervin, who tasted a berry last week,
said it was juicy and was flavoured as a
strawberry should be. If the weather is good
and warm days persist. the Smith's hope to
pick berries for several weeks.
When asked of the variety and where the
plants could be purchased. Mrs. Smith
checked with her neighbour and an
incredible history was unravelled.
Mr. and Mrs. Godkin transplanted
strawberries from plants belonging to Mrs,
Godkin's father, Carl Hemingway of
Brussels. Mrs, Carl Hemingway received
her plants from a patch in her parents'
garden. Mr. and Mrs. James Knight of
Cranbrook. Mr. and Mrs. Knight purchased
the plants from a local nursery in 1900.
Mrs. Smith was told four varieties of
strawberries were planted in 1900 and the
only variety which could he named was
"Dunlop".
Whoever said everything improves with
age. must have been talking about 82 -year•
old strawberry plants.
