(P.) A large, showy berry, that will certainly bring rich returns to those who will give it the treatment it merits. It somewhat resembles Bubach, being of vigorous plant, and bearing a large berry, that is none too firm for shipment ; but it is a profitable berry to grow for a nearby market, and will give good returns under liberal treatment.
