KLONDIKE STRAWBERRY 
This has been the leading commercial strawberry in Southern California for many 

years. It is a large, red berry of good flavor though somewhat acid, quite productive, 
good shipper and sells well on the market. 
Mr. Mullins wrote late in September: “Our Klondikes are the nicest I have ever 
se 
seen. 
Cy Ramage of Chula Vista wrote Oct. 5: “We have about seven acres of Klon- 
dikes and they are the finest in this territory. All our plants came from you and they 
are very good and free from disease.” 
KLONMORE STRAWBERRY 
An outstanding new variety which originated at the Louisiana Experiment Sta- 
tion, a cross between Klondike and Blakemore. Julian C. Miller, Head of Horticultural 
Research at this Station, says of Klonmore: 
“The Klonmore has, in most cases, outyielded the Klondike. The big advantage 
Klonmore has over Klondike is that the Klonmore is resistant to leaf spot and scorch 
and our growers do not have to spray to keep these diseases under control. 
“The Klonmore.is about 20% sweeter and therefore having a higher solids content 
than Klondike. Being a sweeter berry makes it more desirable for the fresh market. 
The Klonmore produces berries earlier as well as later than the Klondike. In most 
of our comparisons, the Klonmore produced 10% to 20% higher yields. 
“I planted the Klonmore here at this station and it was released in 1940. I made 
the first cross in 1933 between the Klondike and Blakemore.” 
Commercial growers especially should try this new variety out alongside Klondike 
and other varieties, as it may prove superior here as well as in Louisiana and prove 
more profitable. It has become very popular with Louisiana growers. 
BLAKEMORE STRAWBERRY 
This is an early berry, bright, light red to the center. The color does not change 
__on standing nor when canned. It is a great favorite with canneries and is excellent 
8, for quick freeze. Being very firm, itis one of the best of all for shipping. A California 
grower says it yields better than Klondike and over a longer period, being both 
earlier and later, is firmer and a better shipper than Klondike. 99°4 of the acreage 
in Arkansas is now said to be Blakemore where Klondike used to be the leading berry.
