>  (ARS) scientist developed a new method for propagating June-bearing
>strawberry varieties that allows the plants to fruit in the fall


My Great, Great Grandfather, Silas Reynolds Divine, inventor of Double
Acting Baking Powder, and Rock-A-Rock underwater blasting powder,  grew
strawberries in the Neversink Valley of New York State. He cut ice off the
pond, covered his strawberry fields with the ice, and mulched with straw.
He too, had late yielding berries, after all the local berries had gone by.
Mike
