The '' The plant is very large and stocky,and one of the healthi- est and hardiest in every way. It has never failed to produce a crop. Its blossoms being pistillate and of moderate size, it makes no extraordinary show when in bloom; but as every blossom perfects a berry, the crop is unusually large.
