For geneological purposes, I note that the pollen parent used in originating this new variety was itself the Yresult of a cross between Justine (Plant Patent No. 154) as thepollen parent, and

Captain Glisson (Plant Patent No. 155) as the seed'parent. ItV diers entirely from either of thesevarieties.
