'Darrow' is a new strawberry variety released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station in January 1974 from the cooperative strawberry breeding program. 'Darrow', tested as MdUS 3773, originated from a cross between MdUS 2713, a very early-ripening selection, and MdUS 2787, a midseason selection made in 1963 by the senior author. Some historic parentage is involved in the early breeding of 'Darrow' dating to 1938 when Scotland BK46 from Mr. Robert Reid of Ayr, Scotland, was first crossed with 'Fairfax' (Fig. 1). The seedlings from which 'Darrow' was selected were grown at Salisbury, Maryland, in 1964 and the selection was made during fruiting in the spring of 1965 by D. H. Scott, I. C. Haut, and A. D. Draper.
