*< 
Fruit long, pointed at each end, very constant in form and color; 
flesh crisp and tender; excellent either for pickles or slicing. 
The stock we offer is a great improvement over that usually sold either as 
Bismarck or Tailby Hybrid, being much better and more uniform in shape, 
without the distinct neck which was a fault of the old stock. It can be de- 
pended upon to produce very symmetrical, handsome, dark green fruits which 
will hold their color better than those of any other kind. This is one of the best 
sorts for growing under glass. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; % Lb. 20c; Lb. 55c
