"The Bond wasn't planted until late (July) but it has done really well. It's still nice and clean without any sign of leaf rust, and at mid-October it's still not got a head on it. Bond and Comet are the only two varieties still to be free of rust." After their experience this season the Harrigan's "will definitely be planting Bond again next year."
