 the Abbe Thi volet, was obtained by crossing the St. Joseph with the large-fruited

 Joseph, are firm, good keepers, and have an excellent flavor. The fruit clusters are 

 erect and do not require support as do those of the St. Joseph. This is the newest 

 and most remarkable of the large-fruited, everbearing strawberries." {Swingle.)
