JAMES GRIEVE. Deutsh. Obstb., 1910., 133. 

 Dessert, September to October, medium to large, 

 3 by 3, round, conical, slightly irregular. Colour, pale 

 creamy yellow, with crimson flush and stripes. Flesh, 

 tender, very juicy, yellow, of excellent flavour. Eye, 

 closed in a rather deep even basin, of which the sides 

 are a little plaited. Stem, moderately long, knobbed 

 at end, in a deep rather narrow cavity. Growth, 

 vigorous, rather upright ; very fertile. Leaf, rather 

 long, dark green, very finely crenate. Origin, a seedling 

 from Pott's Seedling, raised by Mr. James Grieve, 

 and introduced by Messrs. Dickson, of Edinburgh, 

 about 1890. A most excellent fruit quite the best of 

 its season ; its faults in the South are liability to rot 

 and to fall prematurely.
