St. Antoine de Padoua, everbearing. " This variety, which was sent out in 1898 by 

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

 English Royal Sovereign. The fruits of this sort are larger than those of the St. 

 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.)
