 rather tender with a sprightly, pleasant flavor. Mid-season to late. Well

 market. Foliage healthy. Fruit large and noticeably even in size, regu- 

 lar in form and of good quality. Of a handsome scarlet color and fairly

 this year. The fruit is large and holds up well in size; form long, com- 

 pressed, sometimes necked; color a handsome dark red; quality very 

 good. A very safe variety for its season,

 productive, but the fruit is rather tender, and inclined to run small 

 towards the end of the season. Mid-season.

 conic; color bright red; flesh light red; medium firm; quality fair to 

 good. Mid-season.

 its dark color and firmness. Medium-early and was one of the most 

 productive, but the fruit was small and imperfect after the first three 

 pickings.
