Late Stevens is not so desirable as several other late varieties in New York, but in 

 parts of New Jersey and Delaware it is highly esteemed for both commercial and home 

 plantations. In New York the plants are not always productive, the foliage is Susceptible 

 to mildew and leaf-spot and the fruits lack uniformity in shape and size. Neither plants 

 nor fruits stand drouth well, under which condition the berries show the seeds too plainly. 

 This variety was originated by Arthur Stevens, Bridgeton, New Jersey, in 1897; introduced 

 in 1903. The American Pomological Society added the variety to its list of recommended 

 fruits in 1909.

 in shape, var>'ing from coxcomb to wedge or round-conic; apex obtuse; color attractive
