The following varieties have given at least two crops and seem to have some

 August. At that season it would seem valuable as an early sort.

 mens weighing sixteen and eighteen ounces; form oblate; color yellowish, nearly 

 overspread with bright pink; flesh firm, crisp, moderately juicy, with a brisk, 

 sub-acid fiavor. Ripe last of August. Quite productive, but the fruits are so 

 large that they are inclined to fall off before maturing.

 productive. Fruit large, yellow, blushed, striped and splashed with bright red; 

 flesh crisp, tender, juicy; fine quality. Promising for both home and market.
