Fy-uit large, round at the head, but flattened next the 

 stalk, which is about two inches long. Skin rather thick, 

 of a fine amber colour, mottled with fine red and yellow, and 

 of a brio-ht red where exposed to the sun. Flesh pale yel- 

 low, somewhat transparent, with white veins, and slightly 

 tinged with red under the skin next the sun. Juice plenti- 

 ful, sugary, and when fully ripe very excellent. Stone with 

 a very sharp point. 



Ripe the end of July, and beginning of August.* This 

 is rather too tender for an open standard, unless in a 

 warm sheltered situation ; but does remarkably well when 

 trained against an east wall.
