T have a few hundred % year old plants of the PIONEER Bnd. HARDING 
varieties. Both varieties have bushes that are open spreading and 
vigotous; fruit clusters long and rather tight, berries medium sized 
but large if heavily pruned; both have a characteristic aroma and sare of 
high dessert quality. For home use either fresh, frozen or preserved, they 
are unsurpassed. Discontinued in large commercial plantings because 
bushes are costly to prune and harvest. Both ripen in midgeason.
