0PI 637960'Pelican'Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier Maryland, United StatesCORNot Available2004DEVELOPED1989CultivarThe 'Pelican' strawberry (Fragaria xananassa) Duch.), resulting from an interregional effort to breed anthracnose-resistant strawberry cultivars for the southeastern United States (Galletta et al., 1993; Smith et al., 1996), was introduced for propagation to nurseries in 1996 by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), Louisiana State Univ. Agricultural Center, and North Carolina State Univ. 'Pelican' was selected for its high plant vigor; attractive, symmetrical, and large fruit with good color and flavor; resistance of the fruit, petioles, stolons, and plant crown to anthracnose (Colletotrichum acutatum Simmonds and C. fragariae Brooks); and adaptation to the raised-bed plasticulture system used in the southeastern United States. 'Pelican' is also resistant to at least five races of the red -stele root-rot disease (incited by Phytophthora fragariae Hickman var. fragariae). 'Pelican' produced outstanding yields in southern Mississippi compared with 'Sweet Charlie' and was as productive and produced fruit as large as 'Chandler' in North Carolina. Yields in Louisiana were high, but the fruit was subject to skin damage by rain or overhead irrigation. In Maryland, 'Pelican' yielded as well as 'Chandler' on raid\sed beds and made a productive matted row.\, although fruit from matted rows was rated less attractive than that from raised beds. 'Pelican' seems best adapted to the Southern Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont in USDA hardiness zones 8 and 9, especially for fall planting and winter to early spring fruit production. 'Pelican' is suggested for trial in the southeastern United States for raised-bed culture and in adjacent regions for matted-row culture as a high-quality, early to early-midseason, shipping and local-market cultivar with resistance to anthracnose fruit rol, stolon infection. and crown rot. 'Pelican' was named after the state bird of Louisiana. 'Pelican' plants are large, vigorous, and erect. Leaves are large, cup upward at the margins, are medium-green on top and light green beneath. Leaflets are broad ovate; serrations are rounded and tipped; and veins are prominent. Bracts on the petioles are long and whorled, and petioles are flat on the upper surface with very light pubescence. Flower petals are white, number five to six, and are broad and overlapping. Sepals are in two whorls, narrow to medium and pointed or bifurcate. Stamens are in two whorls and anthers are small to medium and yellow. Sepals and pedicels are downy pubescent. Receptacles are raised and conic. Peduncles branch at their midpoint. Fruit are very large, medium-firm and are very long and wedge shaped, with a glossy orange-red exterior (Fig. 1). The calyx is slightly reflexed and achenes are yellow and flush with the fruit surface. Interior flesh is pink and melting (uniform and smooth), juicy with balanced sweet and acid flavor, aromatic, and may have a hollow core. The skin may bruise or crack under some conditions.

Gene Galletta made the cross in 1987. Seedlings screened by Barbara Smith. Seedlings were grown in Miss. and LA , tested as LAMSUS 87-17-17 selected in 1989; released in 1996, named in 1998.

US 438 survived a natural green-house epiphytotic of C. fragariae in 1986 and has shown resistance to field infestations by the fungus since 1987. It was selected at Poplarville in 1988. Recent tests by North Carolina cooperators indicate that US 438 also is resistant to runner infection incited by C. acutatum. In Mississippi, US 438 has yielded as well as 'Tangi' and better than 'Chandler' (Table 1). It is earlier than either standard and had both smaller and larger fruit than the standard cultivars during two seasons. In mat-ted row production in Maryland, US 438 was an average performer, ripening early and with generally good plant bed and fruit characters. Fruit symmetry and skin toughness were subpar, but plant stand, vigor, and fruit firm-ness were superior.US 438 plants are large, dense, vigorous, and free of disease. Leaves are large and rugose, with leaflets turning down at the tip as they age. Leaves are medium to light green with light green undersides, and they have prominent main and branch veins. The leaves have sharply pointed serrations and pubescent petioles, with hairs at a 90. Degree angle to the stem axis. Flower petals are rounded and over-lapping, anthers are small with abundant pol-len, stamens are erect, and sepals are narrow. US 438 fruit is dark scarlet and firm, has a dry consistency, and is acidic with a good flavor. Fruit shape is a long wedge with achenes flush to slightly raised; the cap is large, showy, and partially reflexed. Following inocula-tion of plants at flowering with C. acutatum conidia, US 438 fruit showed no anthracnose fruit rot at Castle Hayne, N.C., early in the ripening season (21 Apr. 1992), while 70% of the 'Chandler' fruit was infected (James Ballington, North Carolina State Univ., per-sonal communication).

'Redgem' is especially suited for individually quick-frozen (IQF) processing, i.e., entire fruits are frozen. 'Bountiful' fruit is brightly colored and possesses good processing qualities. It is suitable for machine harvesting with potentially high yields of late-season, ripe fruit from single harvests.'Redgem' plants are vigorous and produce many runners. The scape is moderately erect. much the same as for 'Benton', but the flowers remain within the canopy during bloom so that frost damage has not been a problem in the Pacific Northwest region.'Redgem' fruit is uniform, with a blunt conic form and a smooth fruit surface similar to that of 'Benton'. The calyx is appressed, but easy to remove. The external color is a bright uniform red, while the internal color is a light red similar to that of 'Benton', but lighter than that of 'Totem'.

Etter gave its parents as the wild Alpine strawberry of Europe and the buck strawberry from Devil's Gate south of Cape Mendocino (Etter, 1916). Ettersburg 121 was vigorous and long-lived. The extensive root system penetrating to nearly 3 feet (1 meter) and resistant to strawberry root weevil. The only weakness was susceptibility to leaf-spot disease. The fruit was medium in size, bright red, and firm which make it a favorite canning berry. Crops were heavy, and the berry capped easily when picked.

Box 16 - 6700 AA Wageningen - The Netherlands. Elvira was selected in 1967 from a cross between: Gorella x Vola (- Bowa x Empire) Tested under IVT-67100 and introduced in 1977. Entered for Breeders' Rights in 1975, received in 1977.Most important characters: A rather early-ripening, productive variety with large, firm, pleasantly flavoured fruits. Plant has a rather low, spreading, open growth, with strongly ramified inflorescences which are slanting outwards. The fruits ripen about simultaneously with these of Gorella, are large, conical, glossy, orange red, juicy and brisk in flavour. Because of its open type of growth, Elvira was introduced mainly for, production in frames, plastic tunnels and coldhouses. At a close plant setting in these cultivations, the fruits are easy to pick and the picking rate is high. Difficult to cap. Can also be grown as a perennial.Susceptibility for diseases: The leaf is less susceptible to Diplocarpon earlianum than that of Gorella and rather susceptible tomildew (Spaerotheca alchemillae). Elvira is little susceptible to fruit rot (Botrytis cinerea) and Verticillium albo-atrum and moderately susceptible to red core (Phytophthora fragariae).CPRO-DLO

E. Kuhns, a strawberry grower of Cliffwood, New Jersey, which is situated not far from the New Jersey Agriculutral Experiment Station at New Brunswick, New Jersey. Mr. Kuhns was growing Glen Mary, Chesapeake, and Late Stevens about the time be obtained the Aberdeen and decided to introduce it. He was in the habit of testing many new varieities, of making crosses, and growing seedlings of those that interested him without keeping a record of their ancestry. He regularly had a field of several hundred seedlings under test. As early as 1910 he had promising varieties, some of which he introduced. A letter from his son, W.W. Kuhns, in 1963 states that the elder Mr. Kuhns had said that a cross with the vigor of Late Stevens and quality of Chesapeake would be a great berry. The son also said that if a seedling was from these two it had the vigor of Late Stevens but not much of the qualities of Chesapeake, though he grew it for twenty-five years as his most profitble variety. Seed must have been sown as early as 1910, for by 1917 Mr. Kuhns had tested the selections and had a row of Aberdeen about 300 feet long. Aberdeen was first reported as promising by J.H. Clarke, of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, in 1924. In 1927 he reported that it had fruited for four years and was promising each year (Clarke, 1927). Its most serious weakness was that it was too soft to ship, even though it outyielded Howard 17 (Premier). Occationally having high flavor, it is a free plant maker, producing large, medium red, soft, and mildly subacid fruit. In the 1930's it was grown in New Jersey quite widely on heavier soils and in other northeastern states. in 1935, Anderson of Illinois reported that Aberdeen was red stele-resistant, thus becoming of great inportance. In that year, A.S. Colby, of the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, made the cross Mastodon x Aberdeen. A high percentage (63.5 percent) of the resulting seedlings showed resistance to the disease. Clarke, in New Jersey, was already using Aberdeen as a parent and had made selections that were introduced as Pathfinder and Sparkle, both of which showed resistance. The U.S. Department of Agriculture made the cross Aberdeen X Fairfax to produce Temple which was selected in 1939 and introduced in 1943. Temple, Fairland, and Sparkle replace Aberdeen as desirable red stele resistant varieties.G. Darrow. 1966. The Strawberry. p. 150.ROOT DISEASE RESISTANT

The strawberry originated as a seedling from the cross of Fairland x Md-683. It was first selected in the fruiting season of 1950 at the University of Maryland Research Farm, Salisbury, Md.The ripening season of STELEMASTER is about the same as Blakemore and 5 to 7 days earlier than Temple. The berries are medium in size, generally uniform and smooth medium red in color with a glossy surface. The flesh is light red, firm, juicy', and the flavor mildly subacid. It is rated satisfactory for frozen pack.The STELEMASTER plants are vigorous, productive, and highly resistant to all the races of red stele now known in Eastern United States. The leaves are resistant to scorch, but somewhat subject to leaf spotSTELEMASTER has been tested most extensively in the Pittsville, Md. district where red stele is most prevalent and appears best adapted to moist soils. The regional adaptation of the variety is not known. Its chief merit is multiple resistance to red stele.

Darrow, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, from a cross made in 1923, was selected in 1925 and introduced in 1933. Its parentage is probably Etters 450 x Howard 17 (Premier) or Howard Supreme x Etters 450 (Darrow, 1962). It is notable as one of the finest flavored of all strawberries. It does not keep its flavor so well as Suwannee in cool, cloudy, or in hot, windy weather. Fairfax is resistant to leaf diseases but susceptible to red stele root disease and to virus diseases and to fasciation in southern states. Fairfax is a good but not excessive plant marker, its flowers produce the most pollen of any; the berries are good sized, deep red in color, firm fleshed, and the least acid of common varieities. Since virus-free stocks of Fairfax have become available, it is being grown widely.Fairfax has proved to be a good parent and Grenadier (of Canada), Redstar, Sparkle and possibly Kogyoku of Japan (24 in all) have Fairfax as one parent while Cavalier, Guardsman, and Redcoat of Canada, Redguantlet and Talisman of Great Britain, and Arapahoe, Ogallala, Red Rich, and Surecrop are among 38 others having Fairfax in the ancestry (Darrow, 1962). Fairfax transmits excellent dessert quality and freedom from leaf spot. Its limitations are that the berries turn purplish when over-ripe, it is not acid enough for a good freezing variety, and its excellent flavor does not develop under some weather conditions. Its decendants are being used more as parent varieities.G. Darrow. 1966. The Strawberry. p. 152.

Brooks and Olmo, 1972.

This variety was originated by G. M. Darrow, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a cross of Missionary X Howard 17, made in 1923 and selected in 1925. It was sent out for trial in the spring of 1927 and later that year tests by Lathrop of the National Preservers Association indicated that it was superior for preserving. In 1928, in tests by Dearing at the North Carolina Department of Agriculture Station at Willard, N.C., it was considered to be outstanding as a shipping variety for the South and it was introduced through that Station and cooperating nurseries in 1929. Its resistance to leaf spot and leaf scorch, its tolerance to virus diseases, its attractive scarlet fruit, its firmness fo shipping, its superiority for preserving, and its greater productiveness as compared with Klondike, led to a quick replacement of Klondike by Blakemore except in southern Louisiana and in Florida. It replaced Missionary in Virginia and North Carolina. Blakemore was grown as far north as southern New Jersey, but has since been replaced there by newer varieties, first by Sparkle and then Jerseybelle, and in Maryland and Virginia by Pocahontas, Dixieland, Earlidawn, and red stele-resistant varieties.

When Blakemore was selected only 64 seedlings of the cross were grown. One other selection of the same progeny was named the Bellmar. It was larger, less acid, less firm, slightly deeper red, and several days later than Blakemore. It did not succeed, partly because it was not as firm and partly because virus diseases made it less productive under many conditions. Later large numbers of seedlings of the same cross were grown and the Suwannee was named for its very high dessert quality, which is perhaps the best in the United states. It is less tolerant of virus, however, and has nearly disappeared. A stock free of virus has been obtained by Dr. John McGrew.

The limiting characters of Blakemore are its relatively smal size and its sporting to yellow plants. 'June yellows' or 'variegation', which was first noted in 1933 and rapidly increased in all sections of the United States. At first it seemed that the variety might be lost, but non-yellowing stocks were selected in several places and some of these proved relatively stable. Though the condition is inherited, research in North Carolina indicates that it is possible to use Blakemore in breeding non-yellowing varieties.

Blakemore has been used extensively in breeding and is in the ancestry of Northwest, Headliner, Dixieland, Pocahontas, Albritton, Massey, Earlidawn, Surecrop, Armore, Dabreak, Silets, Goldsmith, Klonmore and others.

Blakemore was bred by George M. Darrow of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, introduced in 1929. From about 1937 to 1961 this was the most planted varieity in the United States because of its early ripening, very firm, bright red, good shipping berries, good for freezing and preserving, high in pectin. Plants are virus-tolerant, resistant to leaf spot, leaf scorch, and Verticillium wilt. Limitations: its berries are too small, too acid for best dessert flavor, and the plants sport tp varigation.

109PI 551425'Bounty'Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier Nova Scotia, CanadaCORImageNot Available1983DEVELOPED1972CultivarIntroduced in 1972 from Agriculture Canada, Kentville, Nova Scotia. This cultivar is late in the season and very productive. The berries are medium to medium-dark red, somewhat dull and seedy in appearance, moderately firm with very good flavor and fairly good as a frozen pack. Some hulls come off during picking; berries hull fairly well with the old-type hulling machine. Berries have good size in early pickings, but are small in later ones. The plants are vigorous and runner well, but are susceptible to Verticillium wilt. Bounty is useful for pick-your-own plantings and home-garden. Dale et al. 1992.

C. in 1967, and was tested in North Carolina and Maryland from 1969-1979. SENTINEL matures late, with 'Apollo' in the Coastal Plain and with 'Tennessee Beauty' in the mountains. SENTINEL normally produces slightly less than the high-yielding Apollo in the Coastal Plain and as well as 'Apollo' and 'Tennessee Beauty' in the mountains. SENTINEL fruit is fully as large, firm, well-colored, and flavorful as its 'Titan' parent but is more attractive, more symmetrical, and tougher skinned than 'Titan'. Plants of SENTINEL are large and vigorous, runner moderately, are resistant to leaf spot and leaf scorch, tolerant to powdery mildew, and susceptible to anthracnose and mites. Fruit of SENTINEL is tolerant of field rots. SENTINEL should be grown in thin matted rows in the Coastal Plain but can be grown in hills or rows in the mountains. There is a tendency for SENTINEL to yield less on second-year than on first-year beds. 1980 NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE Department of Horticultural Science, Raleigh, North Carolina 27650, and UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SCIENCE AND EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION, Washington, D.

The early white European strawberries of the late 1700s and early 1800s were only a few generations removed from what was called the "Pine" or white Chilean strawberry. 'Weisse Ananas' is likely close to the landrace that was first brought over to France from Chile by Frasier in 1711.

Plant: high yielding, resistant to red stele.Variety was widely grown in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, but was completely ruined by June yellows and has gone out of cultivation. Unter United States conditions, the variety was too soft for commercial use and was never propagated. Robert D. Reid cultivar release introduced in 1947.

Brooks and Olmo, 1972.

WHY NAMED= red stele resistant, superior flavor for general markets NAMED FOR= named for the ultimate cultivar from Auchincruive, Scotland.

In 1938 the Aberdeen was imported from America and in 1939. A cross of TD-8(CC-6 O.P.) Frith O.P. x Aberdeen was made and seedlings grown. Auchincruive Climax was selected. It was introduced in 1947 for its resistance to red stele and its other good qualities. Reid found the qualities of the Aberdeen to complement those of Frith. Auchincruive Climax was a remarkable variety, large in size attractive, high-flavored, productive, late, tolerant of virus diseases and producing a large second crop late in the summer in fall in northern Europe. It quickly became the principal variety of Great Britain and was extensively raised in Northern Europe , also in New Zeland, Tasmaia, and Australia. In Scotland it stayed relatively free of red core, but in its first test in the United States it was completely susceptible not being resistant to the American strains of red stele fungus. Unfortunately it showed swome June Yellows in 1950 and by 1954 nearly every plant in all fields showed this variegation. With Auchincruive Climax, crop yields reduced rapidly and non-yellowing stocks were not found as they had been with Howard 17 (Premier) and Blakemore in America and Madame Moutot in Holland. Auchincruive Climax is the mother of Redgauntlet and Talisman.

Released as a possible replacement for Northwest.Brooks and Olmo. 1972TOTEM (1971) - strawberry - I could not find the derivation of the word but it seemed appropriate to use it as the Totem Pole is the signboard, genealogical record and memorial of Northwest Coast First Nations tribes. Crests carved on Totem poles, usually erected at Potlatches, were lineage property and reflected the history of the lineage.The 'Totem' strawberry has been the predominant cultivar throughout the Pacific Northwest for nearly 25 years. It is ideally suited to processing and acceptable, too, for fresh market use. Fruits are relatively firm and have a uniform deep red colour. Fruit size is well maintained throughout the harvest season. Plants are relatively winter hardy and virus tolerant and have resistance to some of the races of the red stele causal organism, Phytophthora fragariae var. fragariae.'Totem' has been used extensively in Pacific Northwest strawberry breeding programmes.
