BRIGHTMORE STRAWBERRY 
Bulletin 416, of the Agricultural Experiment Station, Oregon State College, Cor- 
vallis, says: “The BRIGHTMORE strawberry was named and introduced in 1942. In 
tests it has outyielded other varieties under most conditions at Puyallup and Prosser, 
Washington, and at Hood River, Oregon. It has been productive except on the 
heaviest soils. It is a firm, bright-red variety especially well adapted for freezing 
and preserving. Preserves made from Brightmore have been superior to those made 
from Marshall even though the fresh-fruit flavor of Brightmore is not so high as that 
of Mashall.” 
The color is between Blakemore and Marshall and they are remarkably bright 
and glossy, and are firm and sweet, and it is said to be very resistant to mold, more 
so than other varieties, and free from crinkle and yellows.

MARSHALL STRAWBERRY 
The Marshall, Banner, Oregon Plum and New Oregon are said by authorities and 
growers to be the same variety. This berry is very popular and extensively grown in 
the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. It has a beautiful red color and a 
very delicious flavor and is very prolific and a good cropper. Extensively used for 
canning and quick freezing. 
FAIRFAX STRAWBERRY 
This is a berry of outstanding quality and wonderful flavor, of dark red color, firm 
and unusually fine shipper. A favorite for home, roadside stand and commercial use, 
it is a vigorous growing plant, with fruit that ripens midseason over a long picking 
season.
