Narrative
Fruit: large, uniform, skin color light, bright, very attractive, maintained throughout the season, light flesh color is a fault, very good dessert quality, ripens midseason to late, 4-6 days after Howard 17. Plant: very productive, susceptible to leaf spot, promising for northeastern areas, but too soft for Maryland and southward.Brooks and Olmo. 1972.Empire, bred by George Slate of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, New York, was introduced in 1951 for its attractive, light red berries of good flavor, and its very productive plants. Midseason. Limitations: it is not firm enough south of New York and New Endland, and it is susceptible to leaf spots.G. Darrow. 1966. The Strawberry. p. 158.
