Abstract
A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the day-neutral type which is primarily characterized by its ability to fruit within three months after planting regardless of when planted or whether from fresh dug or cold storage plants. The variety is suitable for both summer and winter plantings, is self fertile and a good producer of runners in the nursery. The variety is further characterized by the tendency of only the mother and first daughter to flower and fruit strongly as opposed to other day-neutral varieties, such as 'Aptos', 'Brighton' and 'Hecker'. The fruit of the variety is firm and durable and much larger than that of 'Tioga'. It has a generally good flavor although moisture content is lower than varieties which are comparable. Its characteristics make it suitable for commercial uses as well as home gardening.
