Marshall's biggest weakness was susceptibility to red stele disease of the 
roots.  I had Marshall growing up and it was a perfect blend of aromatic 
flavor, intense sweetness and sooth juiciness.  I've tasted many varieties 
including a lot of the GRIN collection, and while there are decent ones out 
there, I've yet to find an equal to a well grown Marshall.  The best 
Marshalls came from a field in the hills above Silverton, OR grown where they 
were the first crop after a forest had been cleared.  You could smell them 
before you reached the patch and eating them made your head ache from the 
sweetness.

She sounds like a real American go-getter.
