This is sometimes called Golden Beauty. It is similar to Red Siberian 

 except in the color and size of the fruit, it being rather large and of a clear 

 golden-yellow color. Season September. Tree medium size or below, a 

 good grower, upright becoming roundish, and somewhat drooping, very hardy 

 and healthy except that under certain circumstances it suffers from blight. It 

 comes into bearing rather young and is a reliable cropper, yielding heavy 

 to very heavy crops annually or nearly annually. It is grown principally for 

 home use but sometimes a portion of the fruit is disposed of in local markets.
