Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the short-day type primarily charcterized as an early fruiter in both winter and summer plantings in south and central coastal California. Runner production in nursery plantings is considered excellent and exceeds `Tioga`. Flowers are self fertile with little malformed fruit which otherwise is long conic to long flat wedgy and usually solid. The variety has flavor comparable to the best flavored varieties used in California and fruit is much firmer than `Douglas` making the variety suitable for fresh and processing markets.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the short-day type charcterized by fruit production as early as `Tufts` or `Tioga` and persistence in fruiting later than `Douglas`. The variety performs well in both summer and winter plantings in south and central coastal California. Early fruit of the variety tends to be malformed similar to `Tufts` and ranges from long conic to long flat wedgy in shape; seldom hollow internally with flesh uniform in color. The variety is further characterized by its small and reflexed calyx borne on a distinct neck and by the extreme firmness and durability of its fruit which in size is as large as `Douglas`. Fruit flavor is comparable to most California varieties in current use and the variety is suitable for both fresh market and processing.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the short-day type characterized by its suitability for winter and summer plantings and its runner prolificy in the nursery. The variety is further characterized by its fruiting habit which is earlier and longer than `Aiko`. The plants of the variety are low to semi-erect and its flowers are self fertile. The fruit is medium conic to very symmetrical in shape, often hollow internally and firm and durable making it suitable for the fresh market and processing. Fruit skin has a finish more glossy and attractive than `Aiko` and fruit flavor is comparable to that of the best California varieties presently in use.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the short-day type which performs well in both summer and winter plantings, characterized by its semi-compact growth, prolificy in runner production in nursery plantings and its self fertile flowers borne on long semi-erect peduncles. The variety is further characterized by its large sized fruit, blunt medium conic to wedgy in shape. The fruit is slightly hollow internally and has a light ring around its core. Fruit flavor compares favorably with the best of California varieties now in use and firmness and durability of the fruit make it suitable for both fresh and processing markets.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the day-neutral type which is primarily characterized by its ability to fruit within three months after planting regardless of when planted or whether from fresh dug or cold storage plants. The variety is suitable for both summer and winter plantings, is self fertile and a good producer of runners in the nursery. The variety is further characterized by the tendency of only the mother and first daughter to flower and fruit strongly as opposed to other day-neutral varieties, such as `Aptos`, `Brighton` and `Hecker`. The fruit of the variety is firm and durable and much larger than that of `Tioga`. It has a generally good flavor although moisture content is lower than varieties which are comparable. Its characteristics make it suitable for commercial uses as well as home gardening.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the day-neutral type primarily characterized by its early fruiting habit and ability to fruit year-round on a cyclic basis, commencing about three months after planting. The variety is a good runner producer in the summer and winter, whether rooted or not. The variety is further characterized by cymose branching with fruit occurring in clusters. The fruit is medium conic to flat wedgy and ranges internally from solid to hollow. Fruit size, durability and firmness are about the same as `Tioga` and the variety is suitable for commercial or home garden use.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the short-day type primarily characterized as the earliest fruiter of all California short-day varieties. The fruit is medium to short conic, slightly hollow internally with a firmness and durability about the same as `Tufts`, `Tioga` and `Aiko`. Fruit size is about the same as `Tioga` and has a flavor comparable to most California varieties in use. The variety is suitable for both fresh and processing markets.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of day-neutral strawberry plant characterized by its capability of high yield of very large firm fruit somewhat similar to `Selva`, but which is less susceptible to two-spotted mite. The variety is adapted to growing in all California fruiting areas where `Selva` is grown.

Abstract: A standard short-day type of strawberry plant characterized by its capability of exceptionally high yield of very large fruit, firmness and particularly fine flavor. The plant is of interest in all major strawberry fruit growing areas.

Abstract: A strong day-neutral type prolific fruiting with good flavor, resistant to Verticillium Wilt and capable of fruiting about three months after planting under satisfactory growing conditions regardless of planting time. The plant is of interest in all situations where `Hecker` or `Fern` are grown.

Abstract: A strong day-neutral type with exceptionally symmetrical conic fruit of fine flavor; resistant to Verticillium Wilt and capable of fruiting about three months after planting under satisfactory growing conditions regardless of planting time. The plant is of interest in all situations where `Fern` or `Hecker` are grown.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct day-neutral variety of strawberry plant called `Irvine`. The variety has a chilling requirement lower than `Selva`. It has a high yield and produces a large, firm fruit which is symmetrical and ranges from conic medium to flat and wedgy in shape. The variety is quite flexible in that it can be planted commercially or in the home garden and the fruit is recommended for the fresh market or for processing. The fruit of `Irvine` is juicier and has a better flavor than `Selva`.

Abstract: `Seascape` is a day-neutral type strawberry variety similar to `Selva` but with a somewhat lower chilling requirement. It is noteworthy for high flavor, high yield, large fruit size, firmness, symmetry, attractive appearance and general flexibility in planting requirements.

Abstract: `Capitola` is a new day-neutral type of strawberry variety with perhaps the highest potentiality for yield of any cultivar yet released. It is also noteworthy for large fruit size, symmetry, attractive appearance and general flexiblity in planting requirements.

Abstract: `Anaheim` is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262), with similar total productivity and somewhat later fruiting, exceptional fruit appearance quality (very symmetrically conic fruit), firmer fruit, and is a larger and more vigorous plant.

Abstract: `Carlsbad` is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) but with larger total productivity, substantially larger early productivity, larger fruit, firmer fruit, and is a more vigorous plant.

Abstract: `Sunset` is a day-neutral cultivar similar to `Selva` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,266) but with a consistently later pattern of production, larger fruit, better flavor and superior tolerance to two-spotted spidermite (Tetranychus urticae).

Abstract: `Cuesta` is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) but with similar or better productivity, larger and more consistent fruit size, and is a more open and less vigorous plant.

Abstract: `Laguna` is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) with similar total productivity and somewhat later productivity, large and very symmetrically conic fruit, firmer fruit, and a larger and more vigorous plant.

Abstract: `Camarosa` is a short-day (June bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) but with greater total productivity, substantially greater early productivitiy, larger fruit, firmer fruit, and is a more vigorous plant.
