 by the heat than most early varieties.

 early variety, following the Early Jersey Wakefield, 

 and considerably larger. It has also the valuable 

 peculiarity of jrarely bursting open when ripe, so that if 

 a crop cannot be used at once, it will not spoil. A val- 

 uable variety for market or family use.
