paratively few. Heavily productive in the Northern States and in California.

with fruits that average 50% larger and consequently can be handled more 
cheaply. Is suitable for paste but fruit too large for solid pack in No. 1 cans.

productive. Fruits uniform bright deep scarlet; large and flat, but deep; smooth
