Very prolific, late, maturing its crop rather promptly. 
This is a very old variety and was offered by Mr. Thorburn in — 
1828. ‘It is very hardy, yields abundantly, thrives well in almost 
any description of soil or situation, and though not so sweet and 
tender as some of the more recent sorts, is of good quality. It 
vegetates with much greater certainty, and its crops are more reliable 
than the higher flavored varieties.” (Burr’s Gar. Veg.)
