0PI 684681'Diamante'Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier California, United StatesCORNot Available2017DEVELOPEDClone`CN210` was first fruited at the University of California Wolfskill Experimental Orchard, near Winters, Calif. in 1992, where it was selected, originally designated Cal 91.248-6, and propagated asexually by runners. Following selection and during testing the plant of this disclosure was designated `CN210`. With the decision that this plant was to be released, it was given the name `Diamante` for the purposes of introduction into commerce and for international registration and recognition. Asexual propagules from this original source have been tested at the Watsonville Strawberry Research Facility, the South Coast Research and Extension Center, and to a limited extent in grower fields starting in 1994.
`CN210` is moderate to weak in expressing the day-neutral character, being a stronger day-neutral than `Seascape` (U. S. Plant Pat. No. 7,614), comparable or slightly more day-neutral than `Selva` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,266), and less so than `Fern` (U. S. Plant Pat. No. 5,267) or `Irvine` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,172). The production pattern for `CN210` is similar to that for `Selva` or `Seascape`, and will be of special interest for winter plantings, where `Selva` and `Seascape` have been successful and summer plantings where `Seascape`, has been successful.

Plants and Foliage Fruiting plants of `CN210` are more erect and usually more vigorous than plants of `Selva` or `Seascape`, but also are more open and compact. With appropriate treatment, plant size for `CN210` is similar to `Selva`, and slightly smaller than `Seascape`. Comparative statistics for foliar characters near mid-season are given for the three cultivars in Table 1. Leaflets are similar in size but substantially more rounded than leaves of `Selva` or `Seascape`. Leaves including petioles are somewhat shorter and broader than the comparison cultivars. Petioles are much thicker and more stiff than those of `Selva` and `Seascape`. `CN210` has variable leaf convexity, generally more concave than leaves of `Selva`, and has fewer and more rounded serrations than the comparison cultivars. The adaxial (upper) leaf surface for `CN210` is darker and more glossy than for `Selva` and similar to `Seascape`, whereas the abaxial surface is slightly lighter than either comparison cultivar (Table 2). Isozymes in Leaf Extracts `CN210` has been classified for three isozyme systems using starch gel electrophoresis (Table 3): Phosophoglucoisomerase (PGI), Leucine Aminopeptidase (LAP), and Phosphoglucomutase (PGM). It is distinguishable from `Selva` but not from `Seascape` using this methodology. For electrophoretic procedures see: J. Amer. Soc. Hort. Sci. 106:684-687.

Disease and Pest Reaction `CN210` is moderately susceptible to common leaf spot (Ramularia tulasnei), Verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae), and Anthracnose crown rot (Colletotrichum acutatum), and is relatively resistant to powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca macularis). When treated properly, it has tolerance to two-spotted spidermites (Tetranychus urticae) greater than `Seascape` and `Selva`. `CN210` is tolerant to strawberry viruses encountered in California. Flowering, Fruiting, Fruit, and Production Characteristics
`CN210` is similar to other California day-neutral cultivars (e. g. `Selva` and `Seascape`) in that it will flower independently of day length, given appropriate temperature and fertility conditions. Comparative statistics for flower and fruit characters near mid-season are given for the three cltivars in Table 4. The primary flowers for `CN210` are similar in size to `Selva` and `Seascape`; the sepals are somewhat smaller than for `Seascape` and substantially larger than for `Selva`. The calyx for `CN210` varies from slightly indented to even, and each primary flower has 5-6 petals. The fruit shape for `CN210` can vary but is typically a long rounded conic, and is easily distinguished from other California day-neutral cultivars. External and internal fruit color for `CN210` are substantially lighter than for `Selva` and `Seascape`, and fruit is substantially more glossy than either comparison cultivar (Table 2). Achenes vary from yellow to red, and are slightly indented.

`CN210` has been tested under a variety of cultural regimes, and optimal performance is obtained when nursery treatments and nutritional programs similar to those for `Selva` and `Seascape` are used. In general, `CN210` is more vigorous than the comparison cultivars and requires less chilling to maintain excellent fruit quality. `CN210` retains good fruit quality in summer planting systems, similar to `Seascape`.

When treated with appropriate planting regimes, `CN210` has much larger fruit and produces greater yields than `Selva` or `Seascape` (Table 5). Production for `CN210` initiates at dates similar to the comparision cultivars and it produces slightly larger quantities of late-season fruit. Commercial appearance ratings have been superior to those for the comparison cultivars. Fruit firmness is similar to that for `Selva` and greater than that for `Seascape`. Subjectively, `CN210` has excellent flavor, substantially better than `Selva` or `Seascape`. The fruit will be outstanding for both fresh market and processing, and will be useful for home garden purposes.

1PI 687353'Mara des Bois'Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier FranceCORFRUITNot Available2017DEVELOPED1991Cultivar'Mara des Bois' is a remontant (everbearing) variety that produces fruit in summer to early fall in the first year, but in subsequent years produces a heavy spring crop with continued production throughout the growing season. Plants typically grow to 12-15" tall and spread to 12-24" wide. Conical red berries are plump, fragrant, sweet and exceedingly tasty. Berries are small to medium (acorn size), which puts them in the category of being much smaller than most commercially grown berries but larger and firmer than tiny wild strawberries. U.S. Plant Patent PP8,517 was issued on December 28, 1993. This patent expired in September of 2011.

As of 2022, Mara Des Bois strawberries are grown commercially in France and on a small yet growing scale in the United States, specifically in the strawberry growing regions of southern California. The short shelf life of Mara Des Bois does limit their distribution range to specialty stores and farmers markets in nearby growing regions and to those that can afford to have the berries shipped to them overnight. Though slightly limiting commercially this delicate nature has made the Mara Des Bois a sought after boutique strawberry as well as an ideal strawberry for the home garden.

2PI 670238'Camarosa'Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier California, United StatesCORFRUITNot Available2013DEVELOPEDCultivar`Camarosa` is typical of short-day types and produces fruit over an extended period when treated appropriately in arid, subtropical climates. `Camarosa` has a substantially greater yield than `Douglas` and greater fruit firmness. The production pattern for `Camarosa` is similar to that for `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262), although it produces substantially greater quantities of early-season fruit. `Camarosa` will be of special interest for winter plantings, where `Chandler` has been successful, and in summer plantings where `Pajaro` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,538) has been successful. Plants and Foliage Fruiting plants of `Camarosa` are larger, more erect, and more vigorous than plants of `Chandler`, and are generally similar in form to plants of `Oso Grande` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,578). `Camarosa` forms branch crowns in greater quantity than `Chandler` with similar branching to `Oso Grande`. When propagated in the nursery, `Camarosa` has similar or greater runner production capacity compared with `Chandler`. Comparative statistics for foliar characters, including leaf color, near mid-season are given for the three cultivars in Table 1, with visual comparisons of leaf color to the Munsell color scale (Nickerson Color Fan) given in Table 5. Leaf color is distinctly lighter on the underside for `Camarosa`; the differential is similar to that for `Chandler` and not as large as for `Oso Grande`. Individual leaflets for `Camarosa` are larger, somewhat longer and more narrow than for `Chandler`, and are less rounded than for `Oso Grande`. Leaves (including petioles) are similar in length to `Chandler`, but are much broader. Petioles are thicker and more stiff than those of `Chandler` and are similar to those of `Oso Grande`. Paired stipules, borne in a median position on the petiole, appear as small, stalked, ovate to heart-shaped structures on some leaves for `Camarosa` and on most leaves for the comparison cultivars. Stipule size varies greatly both within and among individual plants for `Camarosa`, and one or both stipules are frequently absent or may abscise as the leaf matures. Leaf and petiole pubescence characters for `Camarosa` are similar to those for `Oso Grande`, except that tomentum on leaves are less dense. Also, leaves for `Camarosa` are similar in reflectance to `Chandler` but darker green (less yellow), and similar in color intensity to `Oso Grande`. Visual comparisons of fruit color according to the Munsell color scale (Nickerson Color Fan) are given in Table 5. `Camarosa` has concave leaves; less concave than leaves of `Chandler`, and similar to those of `Oso Grande` . Isozymes in Leaf Extracts `Camarosa` has been classified for three isozyme systems using starch gel electrophoresis (Table 2): Phosophoglucoisomerase (PGI), Leucine Aminopeptidase (LAP), and Phosphoglucomutase (PGM). It is distinguishable from all other short-day cultivars released to date. For electrophoretic procedures see: J. Amer. Soc. Hort. Sci. 106:684-687. Disease and Pest Reaction `Camarosa` is moderately susceptible to common leaf spot (Ramularia tulasnei) and relatively resistant to powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca macularis). When treated properly, it has equal or greater tolerance to two-spotted spidermites (Tetranychus urticae) than `Chandler`. `Camarosa` is tolerant to strawberry viruses encountered in California. 1908297PI 670238

5PI 664910'Sweet Sunrise'Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier Oregon, United StatesCORFRUITNot Available2012DEVELOPED02/24/2012Wild materialThe USDA, Agricultural Research Service, the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station and the Washington Agricultural Research Center announce the naming and release of SWEET SUNRISE a high-yielding, medium-large sized, early midseason ripening cultivar with excellent fresh and processed fruit quality. SWEET SUNRISE, a June-bearing strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.), was tested as ORUS 2240-1 and was selected in 2000 from the cross `Puget Reliance' x B 754 (MDUS 5132 x NY 113). SWEET SUNRISE has been tested in multiple trials in Oregon as well as in Washington and British Columbia. In Oregon, in multiple trials, SWEET SUNRISE usually has had higher yields than `Totem' and the yield has been comparable to or higher than `Tillamook' and `Valley Red'. In Washington, SWEET SUNRISE was at the top of the yield trial but was comparable to 'Puget Reliance', 'Stolo' and 'Totem'. While not always significantly different, the yield for SWEET SUNRISE has always been at or near the top when compared with named cultivars in any Pacific Northwest trial. Typically the drop in yield from 1st to 2nd harvest season is relatively low in SWEET SUNRISE and is comparable to `Valley Red' in Oregon for this characteristic. SWEET SUNRISE has medium-large fruit that are usually larger than those of `Totem' and similar to or smaller than those of `Tillamook'. In commercial fields, yield and fruit size for SWEET SUNRISE are considered to be commercially viable. SWEET SUNRISE has scored well in subjective evaluations of fresh fruit characteristics in the field. The fruit are attractive and were scored comparably to `Puget Reliance', `Sweet Bliss' and `Valley Red', and nicer than `Totem', `Tillamook' and `Puget Crimson'. In Oregon, SWEET SUNRISE fruit were rated as firm, comparable to `Puget Crimson', `Sweet Bliss', `Tillamook' and `Valley Red' and firmer than `Totem' and `Puget Reliance'. In Washington, fruit firmness was evaluated using a penetrometer, and SWEET SUNRISE was the firmest berry, comparable to `Stolo' and `Totem' and firmer than `Hood?. The fruit have an external color that is darker than `Sweet Bliss? but comparable to `Totem ' and `Tillamook'. The internal fruit color is a solid deep red comparable to `Totem'. SWEET SUNRISE fruit rated the poorest of all cultivars evaluated for capping. However, when this concern was raised for growers who were trialing SWEET SUNRISE, they found that if you left the fruit to ripen 1-2 days longer than normal they could be easily harvested without the cap. SWEET BLISS has a full, balanced sweet-to-acid, strawberry flavor that was rated similar to `Sweet Bliss', better than `Totem', `Tillamook' , `Valley Red' and `Puget Reliance' and not quite as nice as `Puget Crimson'. SWEET BLISS fruit consistently ripened 7-10 days before `Tillamook' and `Totem' in Oregon and 3-6 days ahead of `Totem' and `Puget Reliance' in Washington. In evaluations of thawed frozen samples, SWEET SUNRISE was scored outstanding, comparable to `Totem', 'Hood' and `Puget Crimson' and better than `Puget Reliance'. Flavor of SWEET SUNRISE as a processed product is usually identified as one of its best attributes. SWEET SUNRISE fruit have a comparable soluble solids level to `Puget Reliance', `Shuksan', `Stolo', `Sweet Bliss', `Tillamook', `Totem' and `Valley Red' but they are not as sweet as `Hood' or `Puget Crimson'. Fruit pH was around 3.5, which is comparable to `Totem', `Tillamook' and `Valley Red'. While the titratable acidity is not high, it is comparable to `Hood', `Tillamook', `Totem', and `Valley Red' but lower than for `Sweet Bliss' and `Puget Crimson'. SWEET SUNRISE plants are more vigorous than `Puget Crimson', `Puget Reliance', `Sweet Bliss', `Tillamook', `Totem' and `Valley Red'. However, this vigor is not expressed as extremely vegetative plant rather it is a very healthy somewhat compact plant whose berries are easily visible to pickers. 1898737PI 664910
6PI 664911'Charm'Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier Oregon, United StatesCORFRUITNot Available2012DEVELOPED02/24/2012Wild materialThe USDA, Agricultural Research Service, the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station and the Washington Agricultural Research Center announce the naming and release of CHARM, a high-yielding, medium-large sized, easily-capped, cultivar with excellent processed fruit quality that is particularly suited to ice cream formulations. CHARM, a June-bearing strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.), was tested as ORUS 2262-2 and was selected in 2001 from the cross BC 92-14-31 (`Providence x Sumas) x WA 94023-1 (ORUS 1083-135 x NJ 8713-8). CHARM has been tested in multiple trials in Oregon as well as Washington and British Columbia. In Oregon, CHARM usually has higher yield than `Totem' and has been comparable to or higher than `Tillamook'. In Washington, in a trial harvested for two years, CHARM had a higher yield than `Totem', and `Tillamook', was comparable to `Valley Red' and `Puget Crimson'. While not always significantly different, the yield for CHARM has always been at or near the top when compared with named cultivars in any Pacific Northwest trial. Typically the drop in yield from 1st to 2nd harvest season is relatively low in CHARM compared to other cultivars in Oregon and in Washington the yield has often increased in the second year. CHARM has medium sized fruit, typically around 15 g and they are comparable in size or larger than `Totem' and comparable or smaller than those of `Tillamook' regardless of where they are grown in the Pacific Northwest. In commercial fields, yield and fruit size are considered to be commercially viable. CHARM has scored well in subjective evaluations of fruit characteristics. Fruit appearance was scored similarly to `Sweet Bliss', `Tillamook', `Totem', and Puget Crimson' but not as nice as `Puget Reliance' and `Valley Red'. In Oregon, CHARM fruit were rated similarly in firmness to `Tillamook', `Puget Crimson' and `Sweet Bliss' and better than `Totem' or `Puget Reliance'. In Washington, fruit firmness was evaluated using a penetrometer, and CHARM was generally similar to `Tillamook', better than `Puget Crimson', and either similar to or better than `Totem' depending on the year of the trial. The fruit have an external color that is not as dark as `Valley Red' or `Puget Crimson' and is comparable to `Tillamook', `Totem' or `Sweet Bliss'. The internal fruit color is also a bright red and similarly was not as dark as for `Valley Red' but is a deeper red than for `Puget Reliance'. CHARM fruit cap easily, comparable to `Puget Reliance', `Puget Crimson', `Valley Red', and `Totem' and more easily than `Sweet Bliss' and `Tillamook'. CHARM has a full, balanced sweet-to-acid, strawberry flavor that was rated similar to `Sweet Bliss', better than `Totem', `Tillamook' , `Valley Red' and `Puget Reliance' and not quite as nice as `Puget Crimson'. CHARM fruit consistently ripen with `Totem' and `Tillamook' in Oregon and Washington. CHARM fruit have a comparable soluble solids level to Puget Reliance, `Shuksan', `Stolo', `Sweet Bliss', `Tillamook', `Totem' and `Valley Red' but they are not as sweet as `Hood' or `Puget Crimson'. Fruit pH was around 3.5 and comparable to `Totem'. Titratable acidity is comparable to `Totem' and `Tillamook', and lower than those for fruit of `Sweet Bliss' and `Puget Crimson'. CHARM fruit were evaluated in a blind panel by representatives of the ice cream industry and identified as outstanding with the potential to replace `Hood'. CHARM plants are among the most vigorous of any we have evaluated. We were concerned whether so much growth would slow down hand harvesting and specifically asked professional picking crews about this concern. They felt there was no problem with the harvest and that the fruit could be harvested economically. Based on this high vigor, organic growers may be interested in trialing CHARM as it would appear to have a lower nitrogen requirement than most other commercial cultivars.

Courtney Weber Cultivar release.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct June-bearing (short day responsive) strawberry cultivar designated as ‘L'Amour’. The cultivar is botanically known as Fragaria×ananassa Duch. The new and distinct cultivar of strawberry originated from a hand-pollinated cross of New York Selection NYUS256 (not patented)בCavendish’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,110), made in 1994 at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva, N.Y. NYUS256 is June-bearing with fruit that is dark red, firm fleshed, and conic shaped that ripens later than ‘L'Amour’. ‘Cavendish’ is June-bearing with fruit that is a bright red, wedge shaped, moderately firm fleshed that ripens slightly earlier than ‘L'Amour’. Both parents of ‘L'Amour’ are hybrids of the strawberry genus of the species Fragaria×ananassa. Thus, ‘L'Amour’ is of the species Fragaria×ananassa. The seeds resulting from this controlled hybridization were germinated in a greenhouse during the winter of 1994-95. Resulting seedlings were planted in the spring of 1995 in a field on the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva, N.Y. The seedlings fruited in the summer of 1996 and one, designated NY1829, was selected for its attractive, large, bright red fruit, strong strawberry flavor, and firm flesh. During 1996, the original plant selection was propagated asexually by stolons (runners) at Geneva, N.Y. and a test planting of ten plants was established. Subsequently, larger test plantings have been established with asexually multiplied plants at Geneva, N.Y. The new cultivar was then tested over the next several years in the fruiting fields at Geneva, N.Y. Further propagation in South Deerfield, Mass. was completed using tissue culture to produce disease free material for use in further testing. Tissue culture plants were used as mother plants for propagation from stolons. This propagation has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein as characterizing the new cultivar are fixed and remain true to type through successive generations of asexual reproduction. All propagules of ‘L'Amour’ have been observed to be true to type in that during all asexual multiplication, the vegetative and fruit characteristics of the original plant have been maintained. All plants planted from dormant crowns or rooted runner tips have fruited after one season of growth in the field.

18PI 664337'Strawberry Festival'Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier Florida, United StatesCORFRUITNot Available2004DEVELOPED2002CultivarStrawberries produced in Florida are shipped fresh to locations throughout the eastern U.S. and Canada. Therefore, Florida growers need cultivars that produce fruit that are attractive and flavorful, and maintain these qualities during and after long-distance shipment. 'Strawberry Festival' strawberry has produced commercially acceptable yields of firm, attractive, and flavorful fruit in trials at the University of Florida's Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Dover (GCREC-Dover) and in two commercial fields in west central Florida. It is recommended for trial in areas where strawberries are grown in the annual hill plasticulture system. The clone was named 'Strawberry Festival' in recognition of the Florida Strawberry Festival, an annual festival in Plant City that celebrates the berries harvested in eastern Hillsborough County during late February and early March. Origin.'Strawberry Festival' originated from a 1995 cross between 'Rosa Linda' and 'Oso Grande'. 'Rosa Linda', a 1996 release from the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, was used as a parent because of its high early season yield potential and its desirable fruit shape. 'Oso Grande', a University of California cultivar, was used as a parent because of its ability to produce large, firm fruit. The original plant of 'Strawberry Festival' was selected in 1995 from a field nursery at GCREC-Dover. 'Strawberry Festival', tested as selection FL 95-41, has been evaluated in replicated plot trials at Dover and in observational trials for two years at the University of Florida's Suwannee Valley Research and Education Center, Live Oak. Description and Performance. 'Strawberry Festival' is a short day cultivar. It has a vigorous plant that tends to produce numerous runners if planted in early October in central Florida. The fruit is attached to long pedicels, and has a mean fruit weight similar to that of 'Sweet Charlie', currently one of the major cultivars grown in west central Florida. The fruit are mostly conic in shape. The external color of fully mature fruit is deep red and glossy; internal color is a bright red. The calyx is large and showy. Fruit of 'Strawberry Festival' have a very firm texture and excellent flavor. In trials at GCREC-Dover, and in two commercial fields in the Dover/Plant City area, 'Strawberry Festival' has had a fruiting pattern and yield similar to that of 'Camarosa'. 'Camarosa' is currently a major cultivar in Florida, California, and other annual hill growing areas. In the observational plots at Live Oak, 'Strawberry Festival' has been less vigorous and had lower fruit yields than 'Camarosa', but has been more vigorous and had higher fruit yields than 'Sweet Charlie' (Bob Hochmuth, personal communication). 'Strawberry Festival' is susceptible to anthracnose fruit rot (caused by Colletotrichum acutatum), Colletotrichum crown rot (caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporodies), and angular leaf spot (caused by Xanthomonas fragariae); therefore we recommend that fruit growers choose their transplant source carefully to avoid starting off their season with infected plants. 'Strawberry Festival' is less susceptible than 'Sweet Charlie' to Botrytis fruit rot (caused by Botrytis cinerea), and less susceptible than 'Camarosa' to powdery mildew (caused by Sphaerotheca macularis). Availability. The Florida Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences has applied for a U.S. plant patent on 'Strawberry Festival', and this cultivar has been uniquely characterized using a set of oligonucleotide DNA primers in RAPD analysis. 'Strawberry Festival' is licensed to the Florida Strawberry Growers Association by Florida Foundation Seed Producers, Inc. Information on nurseries sub-licensed to propagated 'Strawberry Festival' can be obtained from the Florida Strawberry Growers Association, P.O. Drawer 2550, Plant City, FL 33564.

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.

Whereas fruit yield often decreases 40-50% from first to second harvest season in trials at Oregon State University North Willamette Research amd Extension Center, Tillamook's yield in 2000-2001 only decreased 25%. Tillamook produces fruit that can average 30% larger than 'Totem' and 'Puget Reliance'. The ripe fruit are visible in the canopy and easy to pick. The large fruit size and fruit visiblility increase picker efficiency. The fruit have a bright-red external color similar to 'Totem'. The internal color is not as deep red nor as uniformly red as 'Redcrest'. The fruit is very firm and has a very good fresh flavor. While the fruit were not evaluated extensively in storage trials, they hold up well in short term refigeration and have a less tender skin than most of the Pacific Northwest cultivars. The fruit ripening season overlaps with 'Puget Reliance' and 'Totem'. Plants of Tillamook are vigorous and hold up well into the second harvest season suggesting some virus tolerance. In one low lying location, the plants appeared weak due to their wet location, but they were more vigorous than 'Totem'. Tillamook has good processing characteristics. When compared to 'Totem', it caps as well, and, has similar soluble solids, titratable acidity, and pH levels. In consumer panels, the color was noted to be lighter than 'Totem' but the fruit had a better appearance and flavor. Tillamook plants for propagation have tested negative for tomato ringspot, strawberry mild yellow edge and tobacco streak viruses by ELISA and have indexed negative on grafting to F. vesca and F. virginiana.

In Oregon, yield has been similar to 'Totem; in both first and second harvest seasons. In wet fields or root weevil infested fields 'Firecracker' has not yielded as well as 'Totem'. 'Firecracker has performed well in grower fields in Oregon. In some trials, the fruit size of 'Firecracker' has exceeded that of 'Totem', however, in general, 'Firecracker' fruit size is similar to that of 'Totem'. 'Firecracker' has tended to have more uniformly sized fruit than does 'Totem' or 'Puget Reliance' with nearly all of the fruit falling in the medium fruit size class (2 to 3 cm sieve).Firecracker has very good processing characteristics. When compared with 'Totem', it caps as well, it has similar or greater firmness, lower drip loss, lower pH, similar or greater titratable acidity, and similar or higher soluble solid levels. In consumer panels, 'Firecracker' has been rated better for color than 'Totem'. As measured with a color difference meter the L*, a*, and b* readings are similar to 'Totem' as an IQF fruit and as a puree. In a consumer panel, the flavor of thawed, sugared and sliced product wa similar to 'Totem' and rated better than 'Hood'.The most outstanding characteristic of 'Firecracker' is its extremely late ripening period. The picking season for 'Firecracker' is 5 to 7 days later than the current late season standard, 'Redcrest'. Pick-your-own growers will be able to extend their harvest season. Processors who are interested in berries later than 'Redcrest' will find 'Firecracker' valuable.Firecracker plants for propagation have tested negative for tomato ringspot, strawberry mild yellow edge and tobacco streak viruses by ELISA and have indexed negative on grafting to F. vesca and F. virginiana.Firecracker is not patented.

Mesabi has been productive in matted row production systems on soils of heavy and light texture in Minnesota and in hill systems in Maryland. Resistant to five eastern North American races of Phytophthora fragariae, the causal organism of red stele root rot and also have moderate resistance to leaf spot, leaf scorch and powdery mildew. Mesabi was raised as a seedling from the Cross Glooscap x MNUS 99. It is the second cultivar to be released from a breeding program begun in 1980 through the collaboration of the University of Minnesota with the USDA-ARS. The word Mesabi is a transliteration of the Ojibway word for 'giant' and is a popular geographical name in northern Minnesota, perhaps most notably for the Mesabi iron ore range north of Duluth. Mesabi generally produced high yields and medium to large berries in trials in Minnesota. The fruit matures in the middle part of the season for short-day cultivars, about the same time as its parent, Glooscap, and other common midseason cultivars grown in Minnesota such as Kent and Cavendish. In all trials in Minnesota, Mesabi consistently had yields similar to or greater than these other mid-season varieties. Glooscap is probably the most popular mid-season cultivar with commercial Minnessota producers. Between 1992 to 1996, Mesabi strawberry had a greater yield than its parent, Glooscap, in 1O of 15 trials and greater average berry weight in 14 of 15 trials. The fruit of Mesabi strawberry have a glossy scarlet skin that does not tend to darken as much as Glooscap, and a uniform red interior color. The flavor is well balanced between sugars and acids with a characteristic strawberry aroma. The flesh is firm with a creamy, meeting mouthfeel. The skin is medium to tough but tends to become weak in hot weather.

'Mesabi' is a trademarked strawberry name, it is a transliteration of the Ojibway word for 'giant'.

A seedling derived from Elsanta, Eros offers growers an opportunity to avoid reliance on one variety. It has the added benefits over Elsanta of a higher percentage of class 1 fruit, more consistent performance, fewer mis-shapen fruit and greater resistance to red core (Phytophthora fragariae).Parentage: Eros was raised at Horticulture Research International -East Malling from a cross between Elsanta and Allstar, made in 1985 by Dr David Simpson and Judi Bell. Selected in 1986 due to its attractive, high quality berries, Eros, formerly EIV1220, was released to industry in 1994.Fruit Quality: The berries are very attractive with a regular, conical shape, mid-red colour and glossy skin. Firmness is similar to Elsanta and they benefit from having a pleasant, well-balanced flavour.Yield and Fruit Size: Generally similar to Elsanta but one trial showed that there was a large yield benefit when the varieties were compared on the flat as opposed to raised beds. Approximately 50% of Eros class 1 yield is normally greater than 35 mm, a higher proportion than for Elsanta.Season: A mid-season variety, equivalent to Elsanta, at East Malling Eros typically produces the bulk of its crop in June/early July. Slotting into the production schedule between Honeoye and Pegasus, Eros will aid growers in their continuity of supply.Plant Characteristics: Plants are moderately vigorous with an erect, fairly open habit and the fruit is welldisplayed and easy to pick. Runner production is good. Evidence suggests that Eros is well-suited to *programrr~Wd cropping with cold-stored plants as practised with Elsanta.Disease Resistance: Unlike Elsanta, Eros is resistant to two of the three most common UK races of red core (Phytophthora fragariae). The firm berries and open habit result in few losses to grey mould (Botrytis cinerea). Like Elsanta, Eros is moderately susceptible to powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca macularis) and wilt (Verticillium dahliae).Marketing: Eros is a dessert type which will produce approximately 85% of its total yield in the supermarket quality category. There is significantly less waste than with Elsanta due to fewer mis-shapes. With an improved proportion of fruit above 35 mm Eros will reduce harvesting costs, relative to Elsanta.Use of the Variety: Eros produces fruit of very similar quality and appearance to Elsanta and would thus be aimed at the same dessert market. The slightly larger size and smaller proportion of mis-shapes may mean it will be preferred to Elsanta by many growers.

Payne South Carolina was extremely frustrating, by the middle of the week we had only verified the existence of one location for Fragaria virginiana inthe Coastal Plain. Three accessions were located in the Edgefield District of Sumter National Forest and four in Greenwood State Park. Fragaria virginiana from the one verified Coastal Plain location is currently growing in a garden near Lexington, SC. Twelve accessions of Vaccinium spp., four of Gaylussacia frondosa, and one of Rubus argutus were also collected.In southeastern Louisiana and in Mississippi, Fragaria virginiana was not abundant either, and no accessions were found south of Starkville, MS. Specific previous sites were visited near Hattisburg and Laurel, MS, but F. virginiana was no longer present. A total 33 accessions of F. viriniana were collected from east central and northeastern Mississippi. Occurring in small outcroppings of prairie in these regions. Characterized by a very thin layer of 'usually' sticky black soil over decaying limestone, and a scattered to dense overstory of Juniperus virginiana. Within such prairies, F. virginiana was often found growing directly under J. virginiana where little other vegetation occurred. In addition to F. virginiana, 14 accessions of Vaccinium spp. and two accessions Rubus flagellaris were also collected. The collecting trips raised serious questions concerning the statusof Fragaria virginiana in the southeastern US. Is it really as rare as it appears to be in areas such as the coastal plain of South Carolina, southern Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana? People in almost every area told us how abundant wild strawberries were on their property or generally in their region, but these almost always turned out to be either Duchesnea indica, or Potentilla canadensis. The abundance of these two species was about what we had hoped for F. virginiana.1507734PI 612569

Governor Simcoe is moderately resistant to Verticillium wilt and leaf scorch and susceptible to powdery mildew. Recommended as a fresh market cultivar particularly on sandy soils.Dale et al., 1992.This strawberry was named for John Graves Simcoe, (sim ko) , 1752-1806, British army officer, first governor of Upper Canada (Ontario). He served with the British in the American Revolution. Upon the division of Quebec into the two Canadas, he was appointed (1791) lieutenant governor of Upper Canada. In 1792 he arrived at Niagara (which he called Newark), his temporary capital; he moved to York (now Toronto) in 1793. Zealous to make the province a strong colony, Simcoe encouraged immigration (particularly of the American Loyalists), fostered agricultural development, and urged the imperial government to establish a provincial college. He was sent (1796) to take part in the ineffective campaign in Haiti and then returned to England. http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/S/Simcoe-J1.asp

Now the word is associated with Sumas Prairie, east of Abbotsford, where there there are some fairly extensive strawberry plantings. Because of the flat exposed situation, the region is subject to particularly high northeast winds and low temperatures during some winters.The 'Sumas' strawberry is the most winter hardy of the cultivars developed by the programme. However, it is not grown extensively mainly because its fruits are relatively soft and more prone to rot than those of 'Totem'. It has been of some use in breeding programmes.

LATEGLOW has produced excellent crops of fresh market fruit in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland and has shown promise in more limited testing in Ohio and Minnesota. LATEGLOW flowers late with Allstar, Delite, and Guardian. It usually ripens with Delite and Rosanne, after Allstar, Guardian, and Scott, but ahead of Marlate and Redstar. LATEGLOW yields vary from medium-high to high, comparable to Guardian, Redchief, and Raritan., but slightly below those of Allstar. Marketable yields of LATEGLOW are very high, comparable with those of Lester. Fruit of LATEGLOW is very large to large, initially the size of Allstar, and averaging that of Guardian. LATEGLOW fruit is very uniform in symmetry and attractiveness and has firm flesh that is medium red, juicy, sweet, and aromatic. LATEGLOW fruit 'skin' is as tough as that of Earliglow and matures to a glossy deep scarlet color. Plants of LATEGLOW are medium in size and runner freely. They are very resistant to the root rots, red stele, and Verticillium wilt, and vary in reaction to the leaf diseases. LATEGLOW plants are susceptible to anthracnose and leaf blight, and tolerant to powdery mildew, leaf spot and leaf scorch. LATEGLOW fruit is tolerant to gray mold and leather rot. LATEGLOW will extend fruit production into a season in which there are no red stele resistant cultivars of comparable quality.LATEGLOW is suggested for production of fancy quality, late-season fruit, especially in areas where root diseases may be a problem. Leaf disease problems are controlled with normal fungicide sprays for Botrytis control. LATEGLOW may be produced on either flat or raised beds, in matted rows, or as close-spaced mother plants only.

It has been an important variety throughout Europe and the United States; its importance greater on the continent than in England. It was imported into the United States as early as 1858, and grown under high culture and protected with winter mulching. It was very productive and was raised there til the 1920's. It was light crimson with firm, red flesh of high flavor, late and capped the easiest of any variety, being picked without caps. It is still grown slightly for processing in Holland, but has been replaced largely by Senga Sengana. It has been crossed with others in Holland to get easy capping varieties.George M. Darrow. 1966.

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.

Plant: runner production moderate, resistant to leaf spot and leaf scorch, sensitive to virus diseases, especially productive when late-season runners are removed, grown from southern New England to Maryland and westward to Kansas.Brooks and Olmo, 1972.Originated by G.M. 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.

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.

It was selected at Willard, N. C., in 1967, and tested in North Carolina and Maryland from 1969-1979. SUMNER ripens in early midseason in the Coastal Plain and in late season in the mountains. SUMNER fruit yields are very high and berry size is large, comparable to 'Apollo'. Fruit of SUMNER is very firm, like 'Earlibelle', and is of good to average color and flavor. Plants of SUMNER can be grown in hills or in matted rows and yields are excellent in the second year. SUMNER plants runner moderately, but occasionally freely; are resistant to leaf spot, leaf scorch, and mites; are variable in response to powdery mildew; and are susceptible to anthracnose. SUMNER fruit is susceptible to rotting in the spring. Although SUMNER can be grown successfully from the mountains to the Coastal Plain, its culture should be avoided in areas of the Coastal Plain where anthracnose is prevalent.
