Fruit rather large ; clear yellow with waxy surface. Flesh a 

 little coarse, very juicy, sprightly subacid and desirable for either 

 dessert or culinary uses. It ripens in succession through a period 

 of several weeks and is apt to drop as it ripens. Its season extends 

 from late August to October and under favorable conditions a por- 

 tion of the fruit may be kept till winter (24). The tree is a good 

 grower, hardy, long-lived and a reliable cropper giving good crops 

 biennially and sometimes annually. This fruit is grown for home 

 use and to a limited extent for local market.
