This invention relates to a new and distinct winter planted short-day-type variety of strawberry known as `PS-1031`. This new variety is primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the central coast of California. It is particularly characterized by its strong vigorous plant with high yields, short petiolule length, large berry size and its ability to remain in fruit production from early April through November in Salinas, Calif. The fruit is particularly identifiable by its seedy tipped primaries and longitudinal creases occurring primarily during the spring months. The fruit is very attractive during the summer and fall months with acceptable flavor, firmness and holding quality.

This invention relates to a new and distinct day neutral type strawberry variety named `PSI-130`. The new variety produces a relatively high fruit yield, comparable to that of the standard cultivar `Selva`. The variety is characterized by its medium sized, light colored fruit which is smoother and more conic than that of `Selva`. The fruit shelf life is comparable to that of the standard cultivars `Selva` and `Muir`. The plant is similar in appearance to `Selva`, yet slightly less vigorous.

This invention relates to a new and distinct winter planted short-day-type variety of strawberry known as `PS-776`. This new variety is primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the central coast of California. The new variety is particularly characterized by its small round leaves with many shallow serrations, long inflorescences which are easily visible above the canopy of the plant much of the season, very uniformly smooth shaped berries and its ability to remain in fruit production from mid to late April through November. The fruit is very attractive with acceptable flavor and juiciness as well as excellent firmness and holding quality.

This invention relates to a new distinct short day type strawberry variety named `PSI-. 118`. The new variety produces a relatively high fruit yield, greater than `Muir`, but less than `Selva`. The variety is characterized by its medium to large, smooth and conic, relatively dark colored fruit having excellent flavor, better than `Selva` and `Muir`, and excellent firmness, resulting in shipping quality comparable to, or better than, the standard cultivars. The variety is also distinguished by its dark foliage, slightly downwardly cupped at the tips, and its erect growth habit.
