ape variety came to us from the 
South very highly recommend- 
ed. We have tried it for two seasons, 
} 
and are glad to be able to endorse 
the claims made for its good quali- 
ties. Itis very large in size, oblong 
in shape; the general outer color 
is pale, with markings somewhat 
resembling Seminole, but much 
bolder in character. The flesh is 
brilliant red in color, remarkably 
erisp, solid, particularly at the 
heart, of delicious flavor and abso- 
lutely free from any stringiness. 
Though of Southern origin, this 
variety succeeds well in our own 
trial grounds, and we have no doubt 
that it will be found successful in 
almost any section. We confident- 
ly recommend it to all our custom- 
ers. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. oz.,

ends. One of the claims of the grower, which we have proved
