RUST-RESISTANT ROCKY FORD, 70 DAYS.— For several 

 years a special selection of fruit from such vines as have 

 resisted the effects of rust. This type is believed to have 

 been fixed in those qualities, making it particularly hardy, 

 and is, therefore, named Rust-resistant. The qualities are 

 those of the Rocky Ford, but it is possibly a little more 

 round, less ribbed and more thoroughly netted. The seed 

 cavity is very small, and it is believed to be well worthy of 

 trial by all those in whose districts of growing rust has pre- 

 vailed in the past.
