To those who have never seen or grown this valuable variety, we would state that it differs from the ordinary White Spine, in the fact of always remaining of a deep green color in all stages of growth. It grows to good length, of handsome, smooth shape, very early and prolific. It is a very hardy sort, and will not turn yellow after being picked from the vine, but will perma- nently retain its deep green color.
