 No. 36. The fruit resembles Bender in appearance, but not 

 quite so large, more the size of Seneca Bender but more oval. 

 Under most conditions the flesh is thicker, darker orange, and 

 of better quality than Bender. Growers troubled with fusarium 

 wilt, will find Iroquois well worth a trial. Season 90 days.

 outstanding merit. It is especially well adapted for local market

 quality, texture of the flesh which is deep orange in color, and 

 flavor, are unsurpassed. Season approximately 95 days.
