ous plants grow 24 to 30 inches high, spread out nearly 2 feet, and stand up well 
against wind and rain. They begin to bear early and continue to produce for a long

mers are comparatively short. Our seed stock is of a specially selected strain formerly 
known as Improved Fordhook, and is the best you’ve ever seen.
