LINDALICIOUS STRAWBERRY 
(Everbearing in some districts) 
Patent Pending 
One grower has told us that the flavor of this berry is “out of 
this world”. 
The Utah State Agricultural College, Department of Horticulture, 
wrote us: “We have sharp frozen the Lindalicious, Marshall, Premier 
and Catskill and find that the Lindalicious is much superior to 
all the other varieties, in that it stays firm and has a fine 
color. It apparently is an excellent shipping berry.”’ 
This berry originated in Utah, at an elevation of over 5,000 
feet, and while it has not been normally everbearing there, Mr. 
Larsen, the originator, says it is very easy to have it produce two 
crops there under certain management. But it has proven to be ever- 
bearing at Chula Vista, in San Diego Co., where it tis being grown 
very successfully. Mr. Larsen says, “It is not uncommon for a 
strawberry being propagated at a high altitude, such as we have 
here, to turn everbearer at a low altitude.” | 
ORIGINATOR’ S DESCRIPTION: 
HISTORY 
Lindalicious was originated by Leland Larsen of Brigham, Utah, 
in the year 1937, and is a cross between an unnamed prolific 
seedling and Fairfax. It first cropped in 1938, and this seed- 
ling was of such outstanding quality in every way that Mr. 
Larsen segregated all plants from the original and proceeded to 
develop volume plants as fast as possible. Mr. Larsen has been 
cross breeding strawberries and other fruits since 1919, and his 
crowning achievement was producing “Lindalicious”. The berry was 
named after his youngest daughter, “Linda’’. Hundreds of other 
seedlings from the same cross and others have failed to produce 
another berry anything like Lindalicious in quality. It was 
truly a sensation and a masterpiece of scientific breeding. 
PLANT GROWTH 
Lindalicious is a very healthy, robust and vigorous plant. A 
heavy plant maker-new plants well spaced. First planting stools 
out from the crown second year, which increases the yield every 
succeeding year, with us. Long blooming period. Crops from 25 to 
30 days. Perfect flower. Abundance of dark green foliage. Heavy, 
strong fruit stems. 
PRODUCTION 
Mr. Larsen has compared Lindalicious with over 40 other varie- 
ties in his test plots, and in not one case has he found another 
variety that yields with Lindalicious. With us here it has never 
failed to produce a heavy crop in the 10 years it has cropped. 
The long blooming period reduces the hazard of spring frost 
damage. It is a medium early produces and continues production 
for about 30 days.
