891 Valiant. (New.) (65 days.) Large, extra-early Marglobe type, has 
taken the place of the old Earliana in many sections. The fruit is 
smooth, deep, nearly round in shape and of good interior structure. 
It colors up much better than Earliana, and early yields are very 
heavy. The vines are of spreading habit of growth. Advise fertilizing 
fairly heavily for best results. Valiant has proved a very popular and 
profitable variety for early market.
