soft, rich, high flavored, productive ; ripening its fruit in 

 long continued succession. 



FEA]SrCO:N"IA. Color, dark rich red.

 but in most Winters require protection, maturing good 

 crops. Shoots, strong, branching, yellowish brown, with 

 scattered, rather stout bristles. Leaves, rather narrow. 

 Fruit, large, obtuse conical, dark rich red, rather acid 

 flavor; more firm than Fastolf, and not so much as R. 

 Antwerp. A few days later than the latter in ripening.

 very strong, and nearly hardy. Fruit very large, conical, 

 of excellent flavor. 



MONTHLY (^Large Fruited Monthly, etc.). Color, red; 

 quality, 2. 



Remarks. — Excellent and productive; requiring a 

 peculiar system of culture, like most others of this kind, 

 to produce fruit in succession. Shoots, long, slender, 

 purplish in the sun, thickly covered with dark purple 

 spines. Fruit, hardly above medium, line flavor. To 

 produce an Autumn crop, prune the canes in the Spring 

 to within a foot of the ground.
