DESCRIPTION. 



Form, roundish or roundish conical, occasionally slightly compressed 

 and broadened, rarely necked; size, medium to large; surface, glossy, 

 bright crimson, not fading; ripening evenly; seeds, small and mostly 

 depressed; calyx, large, tenacious, pale green; flesh, quite firm and 

 solid, salmon red, juicy, but apparently of good shipping quality; 

 flavor subacid, sprightly, with distinct aroma; quality, good to very 

 good, especially for canning; season, medium to late, closely following 

 Bubach, about the first week in June in Portage County, Ohio. 



The plant is pronounced a very vigorous grower, with foliage resist- 

 ant to rust, and an abundant plant maker. The blossoms are imperfect. 

 The fruit is borne on strong trusses and the variety is reported to be 

 enormously productive. 



The specimens illustrated on PI. XXXVIII, reduced to four-fifths 

 diameter, were grown by the originator, Mr. George J. Streator, at 

 Garrettsville, Ohio, in 1903.
