Earliest of All. Cucked 
An extra early, prolific, desirable White Spine much in favor in the 
South for early shipment to northern markets. Fruit very full and 
uniform, tapering slightly but abruptly at both ends; color a good deep 
green. While a week to ten days earlier than Early Fortune, it is not

sirable, however, for its extreme earliness. 7^ x2% in. W. S.
