This magnificent variety, sen 
season, is undoubtedly the grandest ever offered 
to the Horticultural Public 2 
white-spined obs ty 
colour, which it retains ri the 
markably shy seeder, immensely pan TA and of 
a quality for table that is not to be excelled. It 
grows rapidly to pa segts of 30 to 36 inches, 
being at the same time tender and i and of 
the Sost beautiful prdpdrtöns: For exhibition 
this variety will be found to have no equal, and 
for general use cannot be surpassed.
