Millionaire.—(The American Agriculturist, New York City.) 
Imperfect to semi-perfect. Originated by Henry Jerolaman, 
Hilton, New Jersey, in 1892. Not yet introduced to the trade. It 
is a cross between Hilton Gem and Mary. ‘The following descrip- 
tion was made from plants set in the fall of 1907: Plants vigorous, 
healthy, appear productive. Leaves very large, attractive dark 
green; leaf stems medium to above in length, thick. Fruit stems 
medium to long, thick, prostrate, often single. Blooms very late, 
ripens in late midseason, picks easily. Calyx medium to above in 
size, flat to slightly depressed. Seeds numerous, raised. Fruit 
large to above medium, variable in shape ranging from somewhat 
flattened to irregular conic, inclined to wedge, light scarlet. Flesh 
medium red, firm, agreeably acid, not high in flavor, of fair quality. 
Requires further testing to fully determine value but up to the 
present time does not appear to equal the best standard sorts.

moderately juicy, fair to good. Fruit has many desirable char- 
acters. Plants lack somewhat in vigor.
