It is a first-class main crop variety, for the shipper, market and private gardener, and of special value to the Canner and Catsup Maker, for whose use it is expected to eclipse all others. It is of a deep, rich red color, without any purple tinge. Wherever this variety has been exhibited, it easily carried off the Red Ribbon, and everybody was attracted by its vivid red color and handsome appearance.
