MICHIGAN STATE FORCING. 75 days. An ex- 
cellent greenhouse yariety and a vigorous grower 
with dark green foliage. Especially attractive medium 
size fruits (4 to 5 ounces) are borne in clusters 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 without loss to the grower. 
Many growers have in late years done remarkably 
well with this variety for outdoor growing and it is 
to be recommended.
