It is the thnfty growth habit and the large 
green leaves of Kasuga that help to produce high

The Kasuga was originated by the same straw-

this cross, many of which showed commercial pos- 
sibilities. After a number of vears of close obser- 
vation and careful screening by a keen and 
discriminating strawberry grower the Kasuga 
emerged as the best of the lot. Plants have been 
grown in increasing numbers since the seedling 
was selected until now, when a limited number of 
plants are being offered to the strawberry grower.

In March of 1954 plant patent No. 1264 was 
issued to Mr. T. Kasuga of Sandy, Utah, on the 
strawberry now named after its orginator, the 
Kasuga strawberry. Most growers and all nursery-
