Fruit large to very large, yellow, more or less washed and 

 striped with red, attractive in appearance and of excellent quality. 

 The commercial season in the southeastern portions of the State 

 is October. In Western New York it comes into season with the 

 Twenty Ounce and keeps into early winter (31). Often specimens 

 of it may be kept much later. Macoun gives its season in Ontario 

 as November and December (28). The fruit is desirable both for 

 home and market uses but the variety is usually unsatisfactory for 

 commercial planting because it is not a good keeper, is variable 

 in season and commonly suffers considerable loss in drops and 

 culls. In some locations, however, it is considered a good profit- 

 able variety. 



Origin Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. It found its way into the Lon-

 this region has it assumed very great commercial importance.
