Description
Excerpt from Pomona College Journal of Economic Botany and Subtropical Horticulture: Volumes One, Two and Three, 1911-1912-1913
They are also somewhat hardier than the larger varieties and would probably be valuable in locations where the latter would not thrive.
For home use these varieties will always be desirable, but as a commercial fruit they are out of the question altogether. They are too thin skinned to stand shipment, and would probably not take at all in American markets in competition with the larger, thick skinned fruits.
A few varieties of Mexican origin and green in color are now grown here which are larger than the purple varieties, but these also are mm skinned and of little more value commercially than the purple ones, although the quality is all that could be desired in some cases. To be profitable commercially, the fruit will have to be thick and tough skinned, so as to stand shipment, and as yet no Mexican variety which has fruited here has this quality.
