Longf ellow “The Largest of All and One of the Best” 
_ 72 days. Unquestionably the finest of the large white-spined varieties. It is long, 12 to 15 
inches, slender and round-ended. The fruit, dotted with white spines, is a uniform dark green. 
Because of its length and weight it takes the form of the soil beneath; so to secure perfectly 
straight specimens it is necessary to smooth out thé ground under the growing fruit. The flesh 
is firm and of good quality with few seeds; excellent for slicing. This variety is equally suit- 
The large, uniform size, handsome appearahce and 
good quality make it a profitable type for the fancy trade. A good shipper. Pkt. 15 cts.3
