Strawberry plant `Tustin`

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the short-day type which performs well in both summer and winter plantings, characterized by its semi-compact growth, prolificy in runner production in nursery plantings and its self fertile flowers borne on long semi-erect peduncles. The variety is further characterized by its large sized fruit, blunt medium conic to wedgy in shape. The fruit is slightly hollow internally and has a light ring around its core. Fruit flavor compares favorably with the best of California varieties now in use and firmness and durability of the fruit make it suitable for both fresh and processing markets.

We claim: 
     
       1. The new and distinct variety of strawberry plant herein described and illustrated and identified by the characteristics enumerated above.
