The tree is half dwarf in 

 habit and comparatively free 

 from thorns. The fruit keeps 

 well and is one of the best var- 

 ieties grown in California. It has a tendency to 

 bear the fruit at the end of the branches, and is poorly 

 covered with foliage. It is .an extremely prolific variety. 

 It was introduced by Mr. T. A. Garey, of Los Angeles, 

 Cal., and originated by C. R. Workman at the same place, 

 the seed from which it grew having been imported from 

 Hamburg in 1872.
