72 <lajN. Unquestionably the finest of the large white-spinecl varieties. Tt is long. 12 to 15 
inches, sleiider, and round-ended. The fruit, dotted with white spines. i.s a uniform dark green. 
Because of its length and weight it takes the form of the soil beneath; so to secure perfectly 
straight specimens it is necessary to smootli out the ground under the growing fruit. The fle.sh 
is firm and of good quality with few seeds; e.vccllent for slicing. This variety is equally suit¬ 
able for green-house forcing or field culture. The large, uniform size, handsome api)earance and 
good quality make it a profitable type for the fancy trade. A good shipper. Pkt,, 10 cts.; oz., 
20 cts.; 1/4 lb., 55 cts.; '/j lb., 95 cts.; lb., $1.75; 2 lbs., $3.25; 5 lbs., $7.50, postpaid.
