free from any ridges. It is a productive variety, suited for slicing as well as for 
pickling purposes. Though introduced years 
ago, it is still one of our biggest sellers and 
we know that there is no better variety for 
the home garden. The color holds as well 
when shipped to market as on the vine. 
The fruits also retain their color nicely when 
canned. Plant them this year. Whether 
you grow for market or home, this is the 
kind you want. Pkt. 100; oz. 30^;
