THE KASUGA STRAWBERRY 
The Kasuga strawberry is a promising new 
variety being released to the commercial grower 
for the first time in the spring of 1955. 
HOW ABOUT THE FRUIT? 
The fruit of this berry is outstanding in many 
respects. One characteristic that appeals to the 
housewife and the grower as well is the unusual 
consistent uniformity of its round conic shape.

superiority of the Kasuga strawberry. It has carry-

and most of the other strawberries on the market 
today. The fruit does not bruise readily and it 
retains its attractive bight luster and appealing 
appearance over an extended marketing period. 
As a dessert fruit for fresh use the Kasuga has 
received an excellent preferential rating by those 
who have had an opportunity to try it. For can- 
ning, jam, and preserves it is equal to the best, 
and limited freezing tests prove its superiority for 
this method of preservation.

of a strawberry may be it is of little interest to 
the commercial grower unless it yields well. In 
this respect the Kasuga strawberry is really out- 
standing. It has been tested along with other 
commercial varieties and found to produce sub- 
stantially more fruit per acre than any other vari- 
ety. Where other varieties produce 400 to 600 
cases per acre the Kasuga yielded 800 to 1200 
cases per acre (1600 to 2400 pounds) under the
