rather thinly overlaid with red and showing many yellow dots, often 

 more or less marbled, in the sun becoming rather dense red ; flesh 

 firm and meaty, yellow, not stringy, rich and sugary ; cling. As 

 compared with Abundance, it is a week or two later, more oblong 

 and lacking the peculiar point of Abundance, flesh firmer and not 

 inclined to be stringy, and sweeter, lacking the slight muskiness of 

 Abundance. Burbank is shaded and splashed with dull maroon-red 

 and is much spotted, the yellow under-color being conspicuous. 

 Abundance is a vivid pink-red, the yellow ground conspicuous only 

 on the shaded side. In 1895, the Burbank on our grounds was less 

 than a week later than Abundance, but the very dry season may 

 have ripened it ahead of its usual season. 



A specimen of the Burbank sent by Luther Burbank, Santa Rosa, 

 Cal., is shown natural size in Fig. 3. It is very unlike the Burbank
