 shape, every one seems to have been formed in the same mold, and 

 which simply lay in piles around each plant. The writer has kept 

 close tab on this variety since it was originated and was awarded 

 the honor of being its Introducer by the Originator who happened 

 to be one of our old time friends, Mr. J. H. Parsons, of this city.
