average in size and maintain their size well through the season. Vivid red in 
color and glossy with a tough skin and as firm as the Blakemore. The ber- 
ries run uniform in shape but have a tart flavor. They make a vigorous growth 
of plants and have proven satisfactory to growers from New Jersey to North 
Carolina and the central West. Supply is limited and quotation by 100.

tremely productive, ranking with Premier and Catskill.
