Southborough Seedling, | Marshall's Seedling. 



EnglisL Pistillate. Fruit medium, ovate, conical, sometimes pointed, 

 rich deep scarlet; seeds small, deeply imbedded, mild rich flavor, firm

 found it more productive, and ripening equally early in season. Vines 

 hardy; fruit and foot-stalks short.
