CUBIT 



This All-America Bronze Medal winner is now numbered among 

 the most important market varieties. The fruits are unusually 

 dark green and uniform in color, and hold this color to a larger 

 size than most other varieties. The fresh quality holds up well 

 in shipping, and on the market. The fruits are long, of cylin- 

 drical shape, and blunt ended, averaging 9 inches in length, and 

 2 inches in diameter. The flesh is of a smooth crisp texture. 

 The seed area is small. It is thus an ideal slicing variety. Cubit 

 is a good producer, and most of the fruits are of fancy grade. 

 Season is 60 days, several days earlier than most other leading 

 varieties, oz. Va Ib. Ib. 10 lbs.

 variety. From Long Island to Florida the reports from our

 attractively trim shape of the fruits, and the rich dark color 

 that is carried well down to the blossom end. There is the 

 remarkable uniformity in size, shape and color. The fruits 

 average 7 Vi inches in length with a diameter of 2Vi inches. 

 They are slightly tapered at each end, and the seed area is
