CAMPBELL STRAWBERRY 
Campbell is not recommended for the coastal area because in that area 
unless properly picked (semi-green), it turns very dark, which the 
freezer people find undesirable. On the other hand, if the Campbell is 
grown where the weather is warm, like Sacramento, Modesto, Stockton, 
etc., the color is lighter and not objectionable and the production 
tremendous. One grower in the Sacramento area is said to have picked 
this year up to Aug. 20th 3600 crates of Campbell per acre. 
UTAH CENTENNIAL EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
During the summer of 1940 several everbearing strawberries were being 
tested in a plot in Utah, in which were planted the varieties Minnesota 
1166 (Evermore), Streamliner, Rockhill, 20th Century and Lindalicious. 
The variety Utah Centennial developed from a chance seedling in this 
plot. 
Utah Centennial is said to outyield 20th Century or Utah Everbearing, 
and Centennial is said to be about a week earlier, larger, more uniform 
in shape, much better flavor and with a much larger sugar content. 
Growers in the intermountain area of Utah and Idaho like the Centen- 
nial better than any other variety they have tried out. A grower named 
Matsumoto, in Idaho, when seeking a new variety, tried Centennial on the 
recommendation of his county agent, Frank E. Hackler, who says: “We took 
a chanee on this variety but now we use the onesfourth-acre plot as a 
demonstration unit. Many other growers are now interested in the Utah 
Centennial strawberry.” 
Mr. Matsumoto has five acres of other strawberry varieties, including 
the President, Marshall and Streamliner, but finds none of these equals 
the Utah Centennial. He picked off the first blossoms to get the plants 
well established, and the first berries were marketed in July and the 
crop was in heavy production through September. Even the runners made 
good sized berries. . 
A report we received early in June stated that many 20th Century, 
Utah Everbearing and Utah Centennial were planted in the Florin district 
last season, but orders for this season were coming in from there for a 
much larger number of Centennial plants than for the others. Plants of 
Centennial planted there in November of last fall were producing the 
finest of berries in early June. 
It seems that Utah Centennial is a distinct variety, and not the same 
as 20th Century or Utah Everbearing. 
UTAH EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
OR | 
20TH CENTURY EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
These seem to be simply different names for the same variety. The 
name Utah Everbearing is said to have started when some Utah growers 
started to ship 20th Century berries under the name Utah Everbearing.
