On account of the hard shell it is an excel- lent shipper, carrying safely for long distances without being bruised or damaged in any manner. It is suit- able for growing in all places of equal latitude to Phila- delphia and the West, includingCalifornia,butwedonot recommend it for planting in the New England States, or locations where the growing season is short.

The vines are strong, inclined to overbear, and whether fully grown or undeveloped, there seems to be no dif- ference in quality, being sweet and crisp. The flesh is bright golden-yellow, skin beautiful green and shape elongated. We found that by laying them on the barn floor, away from chilly blasts, they kept well into the winter, and the last one eaten was as good as ever.
