462 Black Magic Hybrid (New) 
Early—Productive—Dependable 
This remarkable Fi hybrid of our introduc-

drouth and disease than any variety we have 
seen. The vines are fairly tall and spreading 
and so husky that most fruit are held off the 
ground. The medium-sized oval fruit have an 
excellent glossy dark color before fully grown 
and the vines produce continuously over a 
long period, from early until frost. By far the 
best kind to grow. See prices below.
