 and is suited to more northern climates. _ ^ 



The plants branch freely near the ground and grow in well-rounded bushes. The fruits are*thick, 

 of most attractive shape, and in color a lustrous purplish black. This coloring is uniform over the whole 

 fruit, and does not fade at the blossom end, as do so many of the older varieties.
