if trained to a stake might be called a tree, but with no more 
accuracy than many other varieties. The fruits are very large, of 
light purple color, very much flattened and wrinkled ; flesh meaty. 
Not a desirable variety for market, the fruits being too largé and 
not smooth enough to slice.

fruits quite flat on blossom end; quality good.

productive ; fruits of the largest size, very symmetrical, purple in 
color ; flesh firm. 
Potomac.— Growth vigorous; moderately prodynctive; fruits 
large symmetrical, blcssom end flat, of a pleasing red; flesh firm
