JZresee's Peerless, or JVb. 6. 



THE latest and best of all Mr. Bresee's seedlings for the main crop. This 

 is also a seedling of the Garnet Chili, and originated from the same seed-ball 

 as the Early Rose ; skin dull white, occasionally russeted ; eyes shallow, oblong ; 

 flesh white, mealy ; grows to a large size, often weighing from one and a half 

 to two pounds, and enormously productive. At a trial before a committee of 

 the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, in September last, this variety obtained 

 more votes as to quality than any other of Bresee's seedlings.
