 sweet. Eye, closed or nearly so, in a rather deep, 

 irregular basin, which is much ribbed. Stem, long 

 and slender, in a narrow and deep cavity, always rayed 

 with scaly russet. Growth, moderate ; fertility good 

 when old. Leaf, small, oval, finely serrate. Origin, 

 raised at Waltham Abbey, by Mr. J. Barnard, about

 late dessert fruit which deserves to be better known.
