The plant is an extremely strong, stocky grower, with an abundance of stout, heavy spines, and a beautiful wrinkled or corrugated foliage of rich dark green color, that is extremely ornamental. Never has been known to winter-kill, and thus far has been able to withstand heat and drouth that has entirely used up other varieties. The fruit is of large size, jet black, and of good quality, the first or main crop ripening the last of June or early in July, at about the same time as Souhegan. At the same time the first of the new canes of the same season's growth begin to bloom, ripening their first fruit soon ^ after the main crop is gone, and continue to bloom and produce fruit till stopped by freezing in the fall.
