Senator Dunlap is a strawberry cultivar recommended by The Northwest Nursery Co. for northern growers, especially in the Dakotas. The catalog says it has perfect blossoms and bears abundantly when planted alone. It calls Senator Dunlap one of the best berries for the United States and the best berry for the Dakotas [S1].
The fruit is dark red and glossy, shading to deep scarlet on the inner side. The seeds are prominent and yellow, and the flesh is bright red throughout [S1]. The berry is described as exceedingly juicy, first-class in quality, and firm enough to keep and ship well [S1]. It ripens early and fruits over a long season [S1].
The plant is noted as thrifty, and the catalog connects that trait with fruit size. Senator Dunlap is also used as a comparison and breeding reference on nearby strawberry pages [S1].
No direct hardiness zone is stated. The strongest evidence is its regional recommendation. The Northwest Nursery Co. presents Senator Dunlap as especially suited to the Dakotas in a catalog aimed at northern growers [S1].
Senator Dunlap appears in the catalog as a parent or trait donor in later strawberry breeding. It is named as a parent of Progressive in an originator's letter, and as the non-everbearing parent in the cross that produced Minnesota No. 1017 [S1]. The catalog says Minnesota No. 1017 combined the qualities of Progressive with the size and thrifty plant of Senator Dunlap. This describes later breeding use, not Senator Dunlap's own parentage [S1].
