had little experience. It is a very vigorous grower and

thinned and high culture is given, some of the finest fruits 
possible to grow can be produced of this variety.

the surface color running well into the flesh, and the 
quality is far above the average. As to productiveness, 
it will not yield as large a number of berries as soine 
varieties, but when measured in quarts or bushels, will 
be above the average. The plant is faultless, a strong 
grower, often standing 20 to 22 inches high, rooting deeply

varieties and quickly finds those the most perfectly suited 
to his own soil, climate, etc., etc.
