crooked, with usually a very few black spines; nearly round in section; 
dull orange, inclining to brownish; well developed samples 12 in. 
long, 2J to 3 in. in diameter; — table size more cylindrical than club- 
shaped, but tapering abruptly to the stem, obscurely three-sided; very 
dark green near the stem, shading to paler at the blossom end, with a 
few scattering black spines; flesh greenish white, very thick, tender; —

No. 7. EXTRA LONG WHITE SPINED, Thor., '83, '87; Vil. 
Syn. Evergreen White Spine, J. & S., '86 : Long White Spine, VEG. GAR. 
A strain of the White Spined bearing rather longer fruits, but 
scarcely differing from it in other respects; well developed samples, 
when ripe, 10 to 12 in. long.

This resembled the Early Cluster in its external characters, but the

is especially recommended for pickling, and is said to " green " better 
than any other.

early.
