Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a short-day type characterized by its yield throughout California, equal to or greater than the heaviest yielding California cultivars. The plants are vigorous and prolific runner makers. The variety is particularly characterized by fruit which is hollow centered and medium conic and a high percentage which is wedgy flat ranging to coxcomb. Fruit is larger in size than that of Tufts, Tioga or Aiko and has flavor equal to or better than the best of the important California cultivars. Shipping qualities are adequate if fruit is harvested carefully.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a short-day type characterized by its good performance throughout California and its generally earlier production with exceptionally large, high quality fruit when winter planted in Coastal Southern California. The variety has a yield equal to or greater than the heavy yielding California cultivars Tigoa, Tufts and Aiko. Plants are vigorous and prolific runner makers, though runner generation is less than Tufts in fruit plantings. Fruit shape is medium long to long conic and much is flat wedged with a distinct small neck. Skin is smooth and glossy. Fruit averages larger in size than Tufts and its flavor is equal to or better than the best important California cultivars. Fruit is adequate for shipping and processing.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a short-day type characterized by its best performance in the Watsonville, California, area where yields are equal to or greater than the heavy yielding California cultivars Tioga, Tufts and Aiko on both summer and winter plantings. The variety is also characterized by its ability to crop in mid to late summer with successive crops of fruit on summer and winter plantings. The plants are vigorous and good runner makers and commence flowering later than Tioga or Tufts and about at the same time as Aiko. The fruit is medium to broad conic tending much to wedged coxcomb with unsightly protrusions on summer fruit. Fruit averages as large as Tufts and is as firm and durable as Tioga, Tufts and Aiko. Fruit flavor is equal to or better than the best California cultivars. Shipping and processing is adequate.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a day-neutral type characterized by its ability after summer planting in South Coastal California to produce fruit during November, December and January, when California fruit is unavailable from the standard short-day cultivars and its ability after winter and spring plantings in Central Coastal California to produce spring and summer fruit without plant storage. Bract leaves do not normally occur on the petioles in contrast to the important California short-day cultivars. The plants are vigorous and prolific runner makers and with a minimum of conditioning, the new cultivar will flower and fruit effectively independent of day length. The fruit is long conic to flat wedged and fruit color is frequently uneven or burnished, though glossy. Flavor quality is almost equal to the important California short-day cultivars and shipping quality is adequate.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a short-day type characterized by its good yield throughout California but best performance in winter plantings in Coastal Southern California where the variety produces a large crop of early high quality fruit of exceptionally fine appearance. Plants are vigorous and prolific runner makers and tend to generate more runners than Tufts in fruit plantings. Heavy flowering commences earlier than Tufts or Tioga in winter plantings in Coastal Southern California. Fruit is long, conic and particularly smooth and glossy with some tending to be flat wedged. The flavor is equal to or better than the best California cultivars and berries are adequate for shipping when winter planted.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a short-day type characterized by its ability after summer planting in South Coastal California to produce fruit during November, December and January when California fruit is unavailable from other short-day cultivars and its ability after winter and spring plantings in Central Coastal California to produce spring and summer fruit without plant storage. The variety is also characterized by vigorous growth, runner prolificacy, fruit which is round conic and glossy in finish, and which has outstanding fruit flavor and good shipping quality.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a short-day type characterized by best performance in the Watsonville, Calif., area where yield is nearly as much as the heavy yielding cultivars Tioga, Tufts and Aiko on summer plantings and in winter plantings with yield about 80% that of Tufts. Fruit is particularly attractive and firm. Fruit shape is medium to long conic with primaries frequently wedged and slight necked and its skin nearly always smooth and glossy. Fruit is firmer and more durable than Aiko, Tioga or Tufts when grown in Watsonville and somewhat larger than Tufts. Fruit flavor is equal to or better than the best important California cultivars and shipping characteristics are excellent.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of a day-neutral type characterized by its ability after winter and spring plantings in Central California to produce fruit three months after planting continuously on a cyclic basis throughout summer and fall. The variety is also characterized by its runner prolificacy in the nursery; its ability to flower and fruit at any time independent of day length with minimum conditioning and its fruit which is firm and durable, medium long, blunt-ovoid to wedge-shaped and sometimes hollow centered. The fruit is larger in size than Tioga and has an excellent flavor similar to that of Sequoia.
