Fruit large, uniform and when well colored rather attractive, 

 being mottled and striped with red. The flesh is tender, sprightly, 

 pleasant subacid, in season from September till early winter. The 

 tree is a strong grower, comes into bearing early and is a reliable 

 cropper, yielding moderate to good crops almost annually. There 

 is apt to be considerable loss from premature dropping of the fruit. 

 So far as we can learn this variety has been as yet but little grown 

 in New York. It appears to be worthy of further testing. 



Summer Rambo much resembles this variety in general appear-

Historical Origin unknown. It was first brought to notice in Ohio, where 

 it has been much grown under the name of Western Beauty.
