Overall Taste Yield Ease	Cortland, New York, United States Frost Free Season: 123 - 143 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
This was my third year for this variety from seed. The yield was high, (for me); about 25 pounds from 12.5 feet of double row. They were harvested in the first half of September. Many were large size. I put them into storage today, and none were soft or diseased, but I am not very confident that they will store as well as Prince or Stuttgarter. We'll see.
