Of considerable interest, historic, if not economic, is the White Carolina strawberry, a parent of Keens Imperial, which in turn was a parent of Keens Seedling, which originated in 1819, and was the first modern strawberry. This White Carolina, if true to name, is apparently different from the original first known cultivated hybrid strawberry, the Old Pine (Carolina), described and figured by Miller in 1759 in England. Old Pine is described as bright scarlet with light red flesh, while the White Carolina that I am growing is pink tinted with white flesh. Old Pine was described as making few runners, while White Carolina makes many runners for me at Glenn Dale.
