least twenty years of age, as it is tardy in coming into bearing. It 

 is of thrifty, vigorous growth, requiring a rich soil, high state of cul 

 tivation, and as an orchard tree, severe thinning out of the tops, as 

 it inclines to make an upright, close head ; young shoots stout, dark, 

 spotted ; blooms late, often escaping late frosts in spring. 



Fruit, medium to large ; form, roundish conical, sometimes 

 ribbed ; skin, thin and tender ; color, light yellow, mostly over 

 spread with light red, striped and slashed with streaks of carmine red, 

 and, when first gathered, covered with a fine bloom ; stem, slender, 

 projecting about even with surface ; cavity, open, wide, deep ; calyx, 

 small, closed ; basin, open, regular, other than the furrows produced by 

 ribs of the fruit not deep, but rather abrupt ; flesh, yellowish white, 

 very tender, crisp, juicy, sprightly ; core, large, capsules open ; seeds, 

 abundant, many of them triangular ovate pointed. Season, January 

 to April. South, it w T ill probably become an early winter variety.
