medium ; plants tall^ vigorous, and productiye. Origi- 

 nated with J. B. Moore, Concord, Mass. 



Hooker. — Large, short, obtuse-conical, nearly globular; 

 dark crimson ; very sweet and rich ; too soft and dark 

 colored for market, but a fine yariety for the amateur. 

 The plants are a little tender, and should always be pro-

 H. E. Hooker, Eochester, Is^. Y.
