coarsely rounded serrate, nearly crenate. Origin, raised 

 in South Lincolnshire and introduced by Messrs. G. 

 Bunyard & Co., Ltd., in 1896. A most valuable variety, 

 which is now in the front rank. Thrives in nearly all 

 soils. Its fault is in making rather too much lateral 

 growth as a pyramid.
