Early Fortune. This belongs to the white spine 
t 3 ^pe, and is one of the finest for general use. It is 
early, productive and blight-resisting; remarkably 
uniform fruits about 9 inches long by 2^4 inches 
in diameter, holding their fine dark green color 
long after picking; flesh firm, crisp, and few seeds. 
We believe the high percentage of perfect fruits 
is due to the vigor and blight-resisting qualities 
of this strain. Our market gardeners shipping to 
New York and Brooklyn markets have found it 
to be a profitable sort. Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.;
