Narrative

Bush: vigorous, upright growth very stout.
Truss: long to very long fairly free.
Berry: very large, held laxly; good color.
Quality: good.
Season: midseason.
Quite a good cropper but has gone out of favor owing to the production of a p ercentage of blind buds and to a substantial number of the shoots blowing out. Of interest to amateur gardeners because of the very large berries.
Gardner, 1981.
