`Camarosa` is a short-day (June bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) but with greater total productivity, substantially greater early productivitiy, larger fruit, firmer fruit, and is a more vigorous plant.

Strawberry plant called `Camarosa`

`Carlsbad` is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) but with larger total productivity, substantially larger early productivity, larger fruit, firmer fruit, and is a more vigorous plant.

Strawberry plant called 'Carlsbad'

`Anaheim` is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262), with similar total productivity and somewhat later fruiting, exceptional fruit appearance quality (very symmetrically conic fruit), firmer fruit, and is a larger and more vigorous plant.

Strawberry plant called Anaheim

`Sunset` is a day-neutral cultivar similar to `Selva` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,266) but with a consistently later pattern of production, larger fruit, better flavor and superior tolerance to two-spotted spidermite (Tetranychus urticae).

Strawberry plant called Sunset

`Cuesta` is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) but with similar or better productivity, larger and more consistent fruit size, and is a more open and less vigorous plant.

Strawberry plant called `Cuesta`

`Laguna` is a short-day (June-bearing) cultivar similar to `Chandler` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) with similar total productivity and somewhat later productivity, large and very symmetrically conic fruit, firmer fruit, and a larger and more vigorous plant.

Strawberry plant named `Laguna`

`Capitola` is a new day-neutral type of strawberry variety with perhaps the highest potentiality for yield of any cultivar yet released. It is also noteworthy for large fruit size, symmetry, attractive appearance and general flexiblity in planting requirements.

Strawberry plant called 'Capitola'

`Seascape` is a day-neutral type strawberry variety similar to `Selva` but with a somewhat lower chilling requirement. It is noteworthy for high flavor, high yield, large fruit size, firmness, symmetry, attractive appearance and general flexibility in planting requirements.

Strawberry plant named `Seascape`

This invention relates to a new and distinct day-neutral variety of strawberry plant called `Irvine`. The variety has a chilling requirement lower than `Selva`. It has a high yield and produces a large, firm fruit which is symmetrical and ranges from conic medium to flat and wedgy in shape. The variety is quite flexible in that it can be planted commercially or in the home garden and the fruit is recommended for the fresh market or for processing. The fruit of `Irvine` is juicier and has a better flavor than `Selva`.

Strawberry plant called Irvine

A strong day-neutral type with exceptionally symmetrical conic fruit of fine flavor; resistant to Verticillium Wilt and capable of fruiting about three months after planting under satisfactory growing conditions regardless of planting time. The plant is of interest in all situations where `Fern` or `Hecker` are grown.

Strawberry plant

A standard short-day type of strawberry plant characterized by its capability of exceptionally high yield of very large fruit, firmness and particularly fine flavor. The plant is of interest in all major strawberry fruit growing areas.

Strawberry plant called `Oso Grande`

A strong day-neutral type prolific fruiting with good flavor, resistant to Verticillium Wilt and capable of fruiting about three months after planting under satisfactory growing conditions regardless of planting time. The plant is of interest in all situations where `Hecker` or `Fern` are grown.

Strawberry poant called `Mrak`

A new and distinct variety of day-neutral strawberry plant characterized by its capability of high yield of very large firm fruit somewhat similar to `Selva`, but which is less susceptible to two-spotted mite. The variety is adapted to growing in all California fruiting areas where `Selva` is grown.

Strawberry plant called `Muir`

A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the day-neutral type primarily characterized by its early fruiting habit and ability to fruit year-round on a cyclic basis, commencing about three months after planting. The variety is a good runner producer in the summer and winter, whether rooted or not. The variety is further characterized by cymose branching with fruit occurring in clusters. The fruit is medium conic to flat wedgy and ranges internally from solid to hollow. Fruit size, durability and firmness are about the same as `Tioga` and the variety is suitable for commercial or home garden use.

Strawberry plant `Fern`

A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the short-day type primarily characterized as the earliest fruiter of all California short-day varieties. The fruit is medium to short conic, slightly hollow internally with a firmness and durability about the same as `Tufts`, `Tioga` and `Aiko`. Fruit size is about the same as `Tioga` and has a flavor comparable to most California varieties in use. The variety is suitable for both fresh and processing markets.
