 it inclines to make an upright, close head ; young shoots stout, dark, 

 spotted ; blooms late, often escaping late frosts in spring.

 ribbed; skin, thin and tender; color, light yellow, mostly over- 

 spread with light red, striped and slashed with streaks of carmine red, 

 and, when first gathered, covered with a fine bloom ; stem^ slender, 

 projecting about even with surface; cavity^ open, wide, deep; calyx, 

 small, closed ; basin., open, regular, other than the furrows produced by 

 ribs of the fruit — not deep, but rather abrupt ; flesh., yellowish white,
