plants branch freely near the ground, and grow in well- 
rounded bushes. The grand large fruits are thick, of most 
attractive form, as shown in the Illustration. The skin is 
a rich, lustrous purplish black, the satin gloss and rich 
coloring add greatly to the beauty. The intensely brilliant 
coloring is uniform over the whole fruit and does not fade
