‘Strawberry Festival’ strawberry plant

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of strawberry ( Fragaria×ananassa ), which originated from seed produced by a hand-pollinated cross between ‘Rosa Linda’ and ‘Oso Grande’. The new strawberry, named ‘Strawberry Festival’, is distinguished by the numerous runners it produces in the fruiting field, the long pedicels attached to its fruit, and the production of fruit that are flavorful, firm fleshed, deep red on the outside, bright red on the inside, conically shaped, and have large, showy calyces when grown in Dover, Fla. or other areas that have a subtropical climate similar to that of Dover.

I claim:  
     
       1.
