Medium in size, or fairly large when thinned, variable in shape 

 but usually irregularly globular with a flattened apex but some- 

 times obscurely conical ; color a clear rich uniform yellow, with a 

 thin white bloom and minute whitish dots in the skin ; flesh very 

 firm, not juicy nor stringy, sweet and good; skin sour; strong 

 clingstone. Ripe at Ithaca in 1895 the last days of August and 

 first days of September, one or two weeks later than Burbank. I 

 had it from Niagara coimtj^. New York, however, early in August. 

 A very long keeper. Fairly productive.
