STANDARD STRAWBERRIES 
BRIGHTMORE 
A new introduction by the Experiment Station for resistance to virus diseases. 
A cross of the Marshall, Etterberg and Blakemore. The plant is a vigorous 
grower, upright, frost risistant, takes to most soils, but being a very heavy 
yielder should have water during the fruiting season to retain size. The fruit 
is medium size, firm, light red meated all through. A new berry that is increas- 
ing rapidly in popularity. 
RED HEART 
An old berry possessing many good canning qualities, but being only a one- 
crep berry, it is being replaced by Brightmore and other better berries. 
MARSHALL (Oregon Plum, New Oregon, Banner) 
From the standpoint of quality, this is the finest berry grown in the West. 
The berry does require rich soil and cool climate and, because of its fast 
open growth, areas somewhat free from frost are most suitable. For home 
and commercial strawberry, the Marshall type remains number one as a 
June bearing strawberry. 
The berry is a beautiful dark red, large, sweet, with one of the finest 
flavors of all strawberries. Retains its size in fruit up to the last pickings. 
Plant: fast grower, large green foliage, and spreading fruit lateral well 
exposed. ! 
IMPROVED MARSHALL (Late Marshall) 
Very much like the Marshall in habit of growth, but will stand more abuse 
in growing, picking and shipping. Plants: more upright and compact than 
the Marshall, berries lie well inclosed (more frost proof). Fruit: the size of 
the Marshall, firm and dark red all through. The quality is very close to 
Marshall and in frosty or lighter sol areas wherever the Marshall is not 
satisfactory, it has a place. 
NEW WASHINGTON 
One of the newer introductions with many good qualities where the Marshall 
cannot meet the demand. Plants: dark green, almost frost proof, and one 
of the most disease resistant plants that we grow. Fruit: dark red, of medium 
size, very sweet, soft, heavy yielder, and a mid-season bearer. Plants should 
have water during fruiting season to retain size as they produce too many 
berries, making the late berries small. ;
