Abstract
A new distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its ability to produce a large spring crop when planted during the winter after a minimum amount of chilling both at the nursery and in cold storage. The variety is particularly distinguished by its good appearance, with a minimum of surface irregularities, high dessert quality, and consistent medium to good size, but with only a moderately firm skin. The large calyx with large individual overlapping sepals are conspicuous. The plant is vigorous, producing dark rugose leaves and an abundance of runners at the nursery and in the fruiting bed, if given more than ideal chilling.
