 fect shaped canning variety ever produced. 

 Large size globe-shaped, full at stem end 

 bright red, a strong grower and bg crop- 

 per. In shape It is almost round. The 

 depression at the stem end has been al- 

 most eliminated, making it the most prof- 

 itable variety for canning, owing to a very 

 small amount of waste. It is immensely 

 productive, clusters of four to seven fruits 

 are produced at six to eight inches apart 

 along the stem. All of the fruits are of 

 marketable size, and many of them are 

 quite large, twelve to fifteen ounces. Al- 

 ways free from green core;; ripens all 

 over and through and right up under the 

 stem all at once. A grand, good slicing 

 variety; the seed cells being surrounded by 

 bright red,, heavy meaty and delicious 

 flesh. The strong outside and inner walls

 der it a very firm fruit and one of the 

 best for long distance hauling or shipping.
