 grower, productive, comparatively free from 

 mildew. Fruit below medium size, nearly 

 round, somewhat hairy, yellowish green,

 and apparently productive, comparatively 

 free from mildew. Fruit medium to large, 

 oblong, smooth, pale green, sweet, good. 



Industry (Whinham's Industry). — One of the best known and 

 generally successful European varieties. Vigorous, productive, 

 somewhat subject to mildew. Fruit medium to large, varying

 started in Europe." This, he thinks, is a strong indication that 

 it is not adapted to our climate. (Fig. 74.)
