Industry. This variety, though of English origin, succeeds 

 admirably in the United States, bearing immense crops and 

 free from mildew. It has the peculiar advantage of coming 

 into leaf some time before it flowers ; consequently the foliage 

 protects the bloom from destructive spring frosts. It succeeds 

 well under the shade of trees. It has fruited in this country 

 for several years, and has thus far proved unequalled for size, 

 flavor, productiveness and vigorous growth.
