It begins fruiting about the same time as Madame Moutot and bears well through the summer and fall. Its berries are large, good flavored, aromatic and a glossy bright vermillion red when ripe. It sets so heavily that its fruit may be small. The registration system for both everbearing (remontants)and non-everbearing for all France indicates the value of the different everbearing varieties there are at the present time. There were thirty-none everbearing varieties listed in the register in 1963. Only Sans Rivale is in Class 1, those recommended for all of France.

Christiansen and Akeel Henriksen. Four varieties, Spangsberg 5, Freja, Rubin, and Ydun, were introduced in 1948 from their breeding work, the last three resulting from the cross (Spate von Leopolshall x Deutsch Evern) x Culver. Ydun was the most productive and was grown extensively. It is bright deep-red, conical, tart, soft, large, and late. Freja is earlier and Rubin later than Ydun. Ydun has been largely replaced by Senga Sengana. Beginning in 1949, A. Thusen has had the breeding work and is assisted since 1959 by Miss Madsen.George M. Darrow. 1966. The strawberry. p. 291.

Grown throughout the southern United States in 1920s. More than 1,000,000 acres of this cultivar were grown, making it the leading variety in United States for 30 years.This variety introduced in 1901, was originated by R. L. Cloud, a railroad shipping agent of Independence, Louisiana, who knew that a better shipping variety was needed and bred one. Its parentage was given by Mr. Cloud as Pickerproof x Hoffman. Very soon it became the standard variety of the entire southern United States, excepting the central and southern Florida areas; until the introduction of Blakemore. The Blakemore, a still firmer variety, replaced it in most of the South in the 1930's, while Klonmore replaced it in Louisiana. It is now grown only in the plateau region near Irapuato, Mexico, for freezing. Klondike possessed many of the characteristics of Wilson - it was acid, deep red, of medium size, produced runners freely, and withstood neglect. It also was moderately productive and withstood the heat of southern summers. It was liked for freezing, because of its rich red color and its acidity. Its chief limitations were its susceptibility to leaf scorch and leaf spot, its medium size and lack of firmness. Blakemore replaced it because of its firmer, brighter fruits and Klonmore because of its resistance to leaf spot.Klondike is in the parentage of Klonmore, Headliner, and Dabreak, varieties that replaced it in the Louisiana region.George M. Darrow. 1966. The Strawberry. p143.
