'^ ^ lar variety is far superior to the 



average and we have received many unsolicited testimonials 

 complimenting us on its excellent quality. 



It produces heavy yields of large smooth, globular, meaty, 

 red fruits. They have a delightful flavor, and are covered 

 with a thick skin which hinders cracking. Moreover, the 

 plants shade the fruits well and thus protect them from 

 sun-scald.
