In sending it to me I could not help but think he raised it too highly, stating as he did. That he had tested almost a 1 known varieties and found Perfection superior to them all. Attera careful test on my trial grounds, I discovered it was fully up to his recommendation, and indeed a wonderful acquisition. It is nearly round, as may be seen by the cut, of good size, frequently weighing 8 to 10 lbs. Each. Of a dark green color out side, heavily netted, while inside they are of a rich orange color, and I venture to say with thicker flesh than any other variety in cultivation, there bein scarcely room for the seeds.
