 identical. Tree low, dwarfish, spreading, with a compact head, productive; fruit medium 

 in size, roundish, somewhat flattened and pointed at the apex; color attractive greenish- 

 yellow, mostly overspread with crimson; flesh blood-red, juicy, acid until fully ripe when 

 it becomes very good; stone free; season very early.
