 Fruit, large, three inches and a half wide, and two inches and three- 

 quarters high ; roundish, irregular in its outline, and prominently 

 angled on the sides. Skin, of a uniform deep straw colour, which is 

 rather deeper and richer on the side next the sun than on the other, 

 and thinly covered with delicate net work of fine grey russet, inter- 

 spersed with several large dark spots. . Eye, large and closed, with long 

 linear segments, set in a wide and irregular basin, from which issue 

 several deep russety furrows. Stalk, short, deeply inserted in an 

 uneven and angular cavity, which is partially lined with russet. Flesh, 

 yellowish, crisp, juicy, and slightly sub-acid, but with an agreeable 

 flavour.
