 splashed with red. Flesh whitish, coarse, subacid, good for culinary use; 

 season August and September. It is not sufficiently attractive in color for 

 a good market variety. The tree is medium to large, with round head, mod- 

 erately vigorous to very vigorous and yields good to heavy crops biennially.

 in New York and is now seldom or never planted.
