Fruit of the type of Grosh ; very attractive in size, form and color ; 

 large, oblate, yellowish-green considerably striped and splashed with mixed 

 red, good to very good. Season early autumn. Begins to ripen about a 

 month earlier than Grosh. The tree is a strong grower, comes into bearing 

 young and bears quite regularly yielding moderate to good crops. Although 

 it has long been known in cultivation in this country it has not gained much 

 recognition among New York fruit growers. The fine color and size of 

 this variety combined with its comparatively good quality recommend it for 

 home use or local market. It is an old variety and has been tested in many 

 parts of the United States but its cultivation has never become extensive. 

 These facts would indicate that it has weaknesses not apparent to the casual 

 observer. Possibly it is worthy of further trial in this state.
