tened, much-ribbed fruit. Its irregularities make it likely to be 

 broken in handlins:. 



9. Virginia Corkei-. — Rather late and ripens slowly ; of 

 good form and color; firm. Good for close of season and 

 green fruit. 



10. Divarf Aristocrat. — Bright red fruit, which began to 

 ripen early but not in quantity until late. Fruit solid, round or 

 apple-shaped, small to medium ; vines two to three feet high, 

 of a very dark green, massive foliage. 



11. Buckeye State. — Except for a very late fruit, this is use- 

 less. Large vines and fruit of good size and form, and crimson-

 tity, and size, good keeper, solid, skin strong, scarlet ; ripens 

 regularly throughout the season. Late and strong grower.

 medium size. Prolific.
