James F. Anderson reported on the more promising of the newer strawberry cultivars in Fruit Notes, based on their performance at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Some of his observations were as follows:
Fulton:Vigorous, productive, and free from leaf diseases, but not resistant to red stele. Fruit of medium size, very firm, and very good in flavor.
Fletcher:Large attractive fruit of good flavor. Is productive, and ripens midseason. Is not resistant to red stele.
Frontenac:Large, attractive fruit of good flavor. Plant is susceptible to drought.
Midway:This midseason cultivar is vigorous, very productive, and resistant to the common races of red stele. Berries are deep red, glossy, and very good in flavor. Berry size is medium to large, but has been variable.
Vesper:Is very late, ripening two to three days after Jerseybelle. Berries are very large and attractive, moderately firm, and good in flavor. Dark berries may be soft. Productive, but susceptible to red stele.
