 green, tardily turning creamy yellow ; dots minute, light col- 

 ored ; bloom white ; flesh greenish ; stone small, round, mod- 

 erately flattened, free; flavor rich and sweet; quality excel-

This variety does not seem to be distributed in the United

 The variety is much like Green Gage, but is free.
