 from three to four inches in the rows.

 a half long shape, and bright rose color. It 

 is as hardy as the last described, not so pop-

 recent introduction, of an oblong, tapering 

 shape; the skin and flesh are pure white, 

 firm, brittle and tender, and has a ten- 

 dency of retaining its crispness even when

 good kind for summer use, as it withstands 

 the severe heat, and grows very quickly.
