Atlas and Apollo, have been developed In our breeding program and released to nurserymen who propagate ?: virus-free plants. Dr. Gene J. Galletta (NCSU) and Dr. Don Scott (ARS-USDA) are the ?: originators. Atlas originated from a cross using a North Carolina ?: seedling (1795) and the Al- ji brltton variety as parents. It has been tested from Massa- ?: chusetts to North Carolina, j: and westward to Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas. The : variety has performed espe- : Cially well from Beltsville, Md.,to North Carolina and is suggested for trial by growers In the Mid-south from the Atlantic Coast westward to Arkansas. Atlas is a mid-season variety, ripening between Earllbelle and Albritton. The variety yielded 52 percent more fruit than Albritton and was 43 percent larger in fruit size In first year beds. In second year beds, the In creases were 31 percent and 25 percent, respectively. Plants are large and vigorous with moderate runner pro duction. It is susceptible to red stele root rot. The leaves are resistant to leaf scorch but susceptible to powdery mildew. The fruit is as firm as the very firm Earllbelle vari ety. has a glossy surface, medium red color and good sub-acid flavor. Atlas per forms best in fertile moist soils. Apollo originated from a cross of two N. C. numbered seedlings. It was tested as NC seedling No. 2841 before naming. Adaptability tests have been conducted from Massachusetts to NorthCaro llna and west to Arkansas. Performance of the variety was best In the southeastern and south-coastal states. Plants of Apollo are med ium to large In size, medium vigor; and medium in runner production. Like Atlas and most other desirable straw berry varieties, It la sus ceptible to red stele root rot. The leaves are resistant to leaf spot and powdery mildew, and tolerant to leaf scorch. Apollo ripens late In the season or slightly after the Albritton variety.
