20TH CENTURY EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
20th Century strawberry has been popular for a good many 
years in the West, and now some in the East claim it is the 
best everbearer they have tested. It has been grown commer- 
cially over a wide area in the West. It is productive and has a 
very excellent flavor. It is inclined to turn dark on standing. 
UTAH CENTENNIAL EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY 
Utah Centennial is said to have been a chance seedling which 
appeared in a planting of 20th Century, Rockhill, Streamliner, 
Evermore and Lindalicious. Most reports we have received state 
that after growing 20th Century and Utah Centennial side by 
side they could see no difference between them. But two reports 
we have received have rated Utah Centennial as superior to 20th 
Century. The last such report stated that they have found Cen- 
tennial a much nicer berry than the old 20th Century. They are 
in Oregon and are the people who are growing our plants. We 
have dealt with them for many years and have found them very 
reliable. 
LASSEN, SHASTA, DONNER STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
LASSEN. Lassen is the most popular commercial] variety in 
Southern California at the present time, due to its tremendous 
yield, outyielding al] other varieties tested at the testing 
grounds at Paramount. It bears a good sized berry which has a 
bright glossy red color which makes a very attractive appear- 
ance in the basket. In flavor it is the poorest of the seven 
named University varieties. 
SHASTA. Shasta is the variety which finds most favor among 
commercial growers in the northern part of the state. It is a 
large, round berry with an excellent flavor and one of the best 
of the University varieties for freezing. It is an attractive 
berry, but does not have the high gloss which characterizes the 
Lassen variety. 
~~ DONNER. Donner 1s a large, rather roundish berry, and has 
the highest flavor of all the seven named University varieties. 
In a planting in Orange county Donner produced a very fine crop 
of good firm berries last spring. The crop was a month earlier 
than other varieties and brought a very high price and the 
grower made a “killing”. They produced no fal] crop.
