 red cheek ; flesh crisp, juicy, mild sub-acid, with a good rich 

 flavor. Keeps through winter.

 ribbed, light green, becoming light yellow, often with a 

 slight blush ; fine grained, very juicy, with a very agreea- 

 ble, mild, sub-acid flavor. Ripens fior several weeks through

 with a beautiful light red cheek on a lemon yellow skin;

 rather short, and stout ; color brownish green, often with

 row neck; skin greenish, with a slight blush; flesh tender, 

 melting, juicy, with a very agreeable, excellent flavor. Ri-
