lower half, light brown, or russet above; — foliage rather scanty, rich 
glossy purple; leaves slightly waved, borders finely undulate; — flesh

Nearly as early as the Egyptian, and said to be of better quality for 
use while young. In our trials it bursted badly when left in the ground 
until full grown and proved far less productive than the Egyptian.
