A PURITAN GOES TO DENI-IARK 



In 1954 Puritan scions were sent to Count F. M, Knuth of Bandholm Denmark. 

 This last September we received a letter and colored photograph of Puritan from 

 the Count. He is very much impressed with the performance of Puritan to-date. 

 If the performance of Puritan can be judged by the colored photograph which he 

 sent uSj there is no doubt that the variety has given an excellent account of 

 itself. The size and color of the fruit of Puritan was "wonderful" to quote 

 the Count, He also commented, "I was rather confident that a variety of 

 Massachusetts origin would beccme a success."
