A new variety developed by Dr. Decker at the Florida 
Agricultural Experiment Station, Gainesville, Florida. This 
variety has shown great resistance to Leaf Blight and Fruit-

are very vigorous and rank growing with the fruits well off 
the ground. It is an exceptionally fine yielding variety and 
bears fruit over a long period. Fruits are cylindrical in 
shape and rich black in color. This variety is particularly 
recommended for the State of Florida where Phomopsis has 
been so prevalent.

vigorous growth. The fruits are intense purple black, long

orous, tall and upright in growth, holding all the fruit well 
off the ground, thus preventing rot. They resist drought, 
blight and wet weather better than most other varieties.

purplish color.
