TREE. 



Tree dwarfish with short, stout, slow-growing branches. Form rather 

 flat, spreading and somewhat drooping. Tivigs short, somewhat curved, 

 stout to rather slender ; internodes short to above medium. Bark dark brown 

 tinged with olive-green, lightly streaked with scarf-skin; pubescent. Lenti- 

 cels numerous, small to medium, oval, slightly raised. Buds deeply set in 

 bark, medium to small, broad, plump, obtuse to somewhat acute, appressed 

 or free, pubescent. 



FRUIT. 



Fruit quite uniform in size and shape for any particular crop but varies 

 under different conditions from below medium to above. Form oblate conic 

 to roundish conic, pretty regular but sometimes indistinctly ribbed. Stem 

 medium to long, slender, pubescent. Cavity acute, moderately deep to deep, 

 broad, smooth or thinly russeted. Calyx closed or open; lobes reflexed. 

 Basin moderately shallow, rather narrow, sometimes abrupt, somewhat fur- 

 rowed and wrinkled.

 brownish blush. Dots numerous, small, light or russet.
