It exceeds all other varieties in productiveness, and were • it not for its great vigor of growth, it would, by overbearing, soon be- come exhausted. Such productiveness will, in every locality, need a liberal supply of manure, ashes, or other plant food in order to continue to produce fruit of the largest size and in such abund- ance. It is a variety, too, which needs a good bit of ground to stand upon, requiring double the room of other sorts. Notwithstanding its great vigor, it has proved to be hardy wherever tried without a single exception.
