Michigan State Forcing 7> 4ys- 
An ex 
cellent greenhouse, variety and 
a vigorous grower with dark 
green foliage. -Especially at- 
tractive medium size fruits (4 
to 5 ounces) are borne in clus- 
ters of five to eleven. Stem 
cavity is small, shallow and 
very smooth. Blossom end well 
rounded with a very small scar, 
the outer walls of fruit are 
thicker, and the firmness of the 
fruit makes it possible to allow 
them to ripen on the vine with- 
out loss to the grower. Many 
growers have in late years done 
remarkably well with this vari- 
ety for outdoor growing and it 
is to be recommended. QOz., 60c;
