 often a profitable commercial variety further north than this. 

 It is, however, inferior in most respects to the variety grown 

 south of that line. It is apt to be hard and astringent and

 area where it may be said to rank as a valuable commercial sort. 

 ShocMey. — Shockley is a variety belonging almost exclu-
