Stevens’ Late Champion. :This 
is a descendant of the Gandy, and origt- 
nated in New Jersey. It is a stronger 
grower than Gandy, and will thrive on 
a greater variety of soils. It makes 
strong, vigorous plants, which will yield 
heavy crops of fruit, and makes plenty 
of sturdy runners which take root at 
once. The blossoms, as well as the fruit, 
are amply protected by its heavy foliage. 
The fruit is large, long, a little flatten- 
ed, and sometimes slightly creased, but 
generally smooth. The color is a bright 
red and also the flesh. The flavor seems 
rather acid, but is generally considered 
a good berry. It ripens late and makes 
a season of medium length. A very 
popular variety with many growers. | 
have a very fine stock of these plants.
