white, crisp, with a pleasant sub-acid flavor. Tree a strong 

 grower and great bearer. Fruit bears carriage well and promises

SOPS OF WINE. Medium size, round-ovate, dark red ; stalk long, 

 slender ; flesh white, often stained red, moderately juicy, sub-acid,

 bright red on yellow ground ; stalk rather short and thick ; flesh 

 very soft, rich, of fine quality. Ripens at the end of summer an

 buds very large. 



This is wholly distinct from the Hagloe Crab, a late, small, ill-shaped,
