fruit with a slight taper at 
each end. At the edible stage 
the length averages about eight 
inches and the color is an in¬ 
tense dark green. A smooth, 
medium early strain with con¬ 
siderable merit. It was intro¬

EVERBEARING 
(Black Spine) 
Size: 6£ x 3 inches 
Weight: 1} pounds 
Edible in 52 days 
Principle use: Early pickles 
A small, early variety a little 
larger than Early Russian. If 
the fruits are kept picked dur¬ 
ing the growing season it will 
continue to bear almost indefi¬ 
nitely. It is of little use ex¬ 
cept for pickling, but it is so 
early in maturing that it is 
used for the first crop pickles.
