hardness and firmness of the fruit and its resistance to 
puffiness, making it absolutely the finest shipping va¬ 
riety in existence. The plants are not vigorous in 
growth, but produce a very heavy yield of large, fancy 
fruits clear up to the tips of the stalks and are best 
adapted to low, moist soils. Since the roots of this vari¬ 
ety do not spread as other varieties, fertilizer must be 
applied very close to the plant in order to secure max¬ 
imum yields of good sized fancy fruit. Our tests 
indicate that this variety is resistant to nail-head rust, 
phoma, and other fruit rots. If you want the finest
