Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 15: Devoted to Agriture, Hortiture, and the Household Arts; July, 1855
The variety introduced from valparaiso by Commodore Porter, became known' to me about the year 1830, since which time it has been more or less tivated in New England both for the table and for stock. It is of an oblong, oval shape, of a pale reddish yellow color externally when ripe, nearly smooth, and very slightly furrowed, and often grows to a large size.' It readily mixes with the Autumnal Marrow, but 18 inferior to it in quality It may prove better and more valua ble in the Middle and Southern States than in New England.
