Abstract: A new and distinct everbearing variety of strawberry plant characterized by fruit which is consistently large, especially for an everbearer, that is medium wedge to conic in outline and has a noticeably good flavor. The plant is also characterized by its ability to produce many crowns by the time the main crop is harvested after being planted if favorable soil moisture and nutrition is maintained. Its cropping is characterized by a heavy peak in production that occurs in the central coast region of California during August if planted during late January, February or March.

Abstract: A new and distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its ability to produce an early large crown crop, even in central California, with large fruit size. It has the ability to produce from April to October with a minimum of runners if transplants are given the correct chilling, at both the nursery and cold storage, before being planted.The variety is particularly distinguished by its good fruit appearance and flavor, and its dark small to medium sized plant. The fruit are produced close to the plant, but located so that they are easily available to pickers, making the variety desirable to the pickers.

Abstract: A new and distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its firm good appearing fruit, both during the crown and subsequent crops. The variety has the ability to produce from April to October, but the transplants require correct chilling both at the nursery and cold storage if summer and fall crops are produced.The variety is particularly distinguished by its late developing plant and crop during the spring. The fruit is distinguished because of its consistent appearance, flavor, and its good shelf life.

Abstract: A new and distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its ability to produce a strong plant, but which remains in production consistently from April to October, if given adequate chilling before and after being planted.The variety is particularly distinguished by its consistently good flavor, large calyx, large smooth and attractive fruit, and heavy total production. Its long shelf life also becomes a distinctive character. The dark and glossy leaflets are characters that help identify this new variety.

Abstract: A new and distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its ability to produce large attractive primary fruit from the main and subsequent crops that meet the standard required for Driscoll's long stem fruit. These berries are produced if given the chilling necessary before winter planting. This production of large fruit can be produced in mid-summer, as well as during the spring.The variety is particularly distinguished by its good fruit appearance with yellow seed and a medium to large plant. This plant is considered to have a high degree of susceptibility to mildew and its large attractive fruit is susceptible to shipping injury which influences its shelf life.

Abstract: A new and distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its ability to produce large, glossy, dark crown crop berries during the early spring when given adequate chilling before being winter planted in southern California.It is distinguished by its consistently good shaped fruit that reflect an abundance of pollen production and uniformly fertilized pistil and achenes that develop. This crown crop fruit with its large calyx is borne on long thick pedicils. The plant is considered dark, and is vigorous only if given adequate chilling before being planted. This variety has the ability to continue cropping even in the summer, after the picking for the fresh market has been terminated.

Abstract: A new and distinct everbearing variety of strawberry characterized by its low growing plant that responds to nitrogen fertilizer and cold storage chilling and is considered a high chilling type.The variety is also distinguished by its ability to initiate a large main crop even late in the fall and winter following a summer planting. The fruit that is produced is of good quality and is easily accessible to pickers.

Abstract: `UV601` is a spring bearing variety which produces attractive dark colored crown and main crop fruit from April to October when grown as a winter planted variety on the coast of central California and when adequately chilled before and after planting. The crop is early in maturing and in Florida ripens in December. `UV601` has consistently firm skin and flesh, a large attractive calyx and good strawberry flavor. The variety is further characterized by its cordate-shaped leaflet serrations, acute at the apex, its purpling of leaf parts after the crown crop and its large calyx.

Abstract: `V258` is a spring bearing variety of strawberry plant characterized by its ability to produce a strong plant, which remains in production consistently from April to October in the central coastal area of California if given adequate chilling before and after being winter planted.The variety is particularly distinguished by its large, light colored, multi-crowned plant, its large crown and main crop berries, with light colored surface and firm flesh and by its consistently high quality strawberry flavor.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new distinct short day winter-planted variety of strawberry plant named `X13`. The plant of this variety is distinguished by its dark, glossy foliage and its ability to initiate flowers from early spring to late fall in the Central Coast of California and spring and summer in southern California. The fruit is distinguished by its consistently high flavor, long shelf life, good fruit color inside and out and glossy, smooth surface. Its fruit is adapted to being processed for the freezer trade, especially for the Individual Quck Frozen berry demand, as well as for the fresh market.

Abstract: `Balboa` is a spring bearing variety which produces smooth glossy, attractive, full colored fruit, both on the surface and in the juicy flesh and has a very good flavor.The crop is medium early in southern and central California and has the ability to produce a high volume of fruit in March, April and May in southern California, if the transplant is given proper chilling before being planted.If grown in central California, the plants have the ability to continue production in the summer and fall. The plant is characterized by being medium dark and becoming large by summer. When vigorous, it is common to have one or more leaves per plant produce four leaflets per leaf instead of the normal three.The fruit of the plant is also characterized by a large, dark calyx on primary berries which often produce a double row of serrated sepals. These sepals often become curled and are held irregularly, with narrow sepals, when present, held on the row away from the fruit, not next to the fruit.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named `Coronado`, botanically identified as Fragaria.times.ananassa. The closest known variety is `Balboa`. The new variety is partially everbearing. The new variety is distinguished from `Balboa` by its globose plant habit, medium plant density, flat to cupped terminal leaflet profile, outwardly pointed petiole hairs, the inflorescence is held level to above the leaves, and the calyx is larger than the corolla. The harvest yield before April 1 of `Coronado` is about 4.4 times greater than for `Balboa` for the same period. The main crop of `Coronado` is approximately one week before that of `Balboa`. The PGI isozyme banding pattern for `Coronado` is A2, while that for `Balboa` is A1. The LAP banding pattern for both `Coronado` and `Balboa` is B3. The PGM banding pattern for `Coronado` is C4, while that for `Balboa` is C2.
