EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
MARVEL 
A new strawberry containing much in quality. Plants: upright, dark green, 
with many characteristics of the old Progressive strawberry. Fruit: medium 
size, bright red, a little acid, the sweetest everbearing that we grow. 
MINNESOTA NO. 1166 
This recent introduction to the everbearing family shows promise of replac- 
ing many of the older varieties. Plants: very healthy, dark green foliage, 
upright, berries inclosed until nearly ripe. It has made the best growth 
of any everbearing we have this year. Fruit: large, firm, dark red and red 
throughout. Berries are not of Rockhill quality but are equal to or better 
than Streamliner, Gem and others we have grown. 
STREAMLINER 
A new everbearing that has gained great popularity. Plants: not as large or 
as fast growing as many of the everbearing, lie close to the ground. Fruit: 
dark red, firm, about same sweetness as Minnesota No. 1166, almost round 
in shape. With us the plant produces medium to large fruit, very few culls, 
and holds its size throughout the season. Has not shown the quality of the 
Rockhill but may do better in a warmer climate. 
ROCKHILL (No. 26) 
By far the number one everbearing strawberry with us. Plant: upright, dark 
green, fast grower and resistant to frost. Under normal conditions does not 
produce runners but will do so with water and abnormal conditions although 
fewer than any strawberry we have grown. Fruit: large size, bright red, very 
sweet (flavor of standard varieties) , medium firm. 
WAYZATA 
The true Wayzata is the eastern parent of the Rockhill. When the Rockhill 
was introduced in the West selections were made of it and it may contain 
a few minor variations of the old eastern Wayzata. 
MASTODON 
One of the older everbearing varieties with few good qualities outside of size 
and name. It is being replaced by better quality berries. 
GEM 
Still number one in the low: priced everbearing varieties but is being replaced 
by healthier and better quality varieties. Plants: low growing, dark green, 
vigorous east of Cascades and in California but just fair in western Wash- 
ington and Oregon. Fruit: medium to large, very heavy yielder, bright red, 
acid, too tart for western Washington and western Oregon. Not suitable for 
freezing.
