Trophy
I saw a few references to Trophy in this section and wanted to add this info from an 1875 D.M. Ferry & Co’s catalogue I recently obtained.
Trophy. – Undoubtedly the best new variety that has yet been brought to notice. Is medium early, of enormous size, uniformly smooth and well formed; solid to the center, and very heavy. The seed we offer is our own growth, from stock procured from Mr. Waring, the originator, and is perfectly pure and true.
