Ogallala Strawberry Tops Yields in Iowa Trial
Ogallala, a new overbearing strawberry variety, yielded 14 184 quarts per acre in a 1957 Iowa State College trial at Ames. Horticulturist F L Denizen said it outproduced other overbearing types, producing sweet and aromatic berries. He notes three years of testing and plans for sale this year. Denison cites spacing plants 12 inches apart, pruning runners, and using a summer mulch as key methods. Ogallala, named by the University of Nebraska, is said to be sweeter and more aromatic than Superfection.
