Darrow considered it not very suitable in the east. See 
http://www.nal.usda.gov/pgdic/Strawberry/book/bokten.htm for Darrow's 
description of Marshall as well as other heirloom varieties.

I did a test planting of heirloom varieties several years ago and found 
Suwannee to be my favorite.  I agree with Darrow: "Suwannee was named for its 
very high dessert quality, which is perhaps the best in the United States".
