This variety is, without doubt, one of the finest and most valuable varieties yet raised. Since we introduced it, a few seasons ago, it has established itself as a Standard variety. A good grower and heavy cropper, producing handsome highly coloured fruit of first-class quality for dessert or culinary use; for market and all other purposes it is an ideal fruit in every way.
