 in 1838.

 ing habit, a vigorous and hand- 

 some grower and fairly produc- 

 tive; group, Duke. 



FRUIT: Very large; roundish 

 elongated; side slightly com- 

 pressed; skin, thin, light shin- 

 ing red mottled with darker red, 

 becoming richer in color the 

 longer it hangs; stalk, slender, 

 about two inches long. 



FLESH: Creamy yellow; tex- 

 ture netted, very tender, juicy; 

 flavor, slightly subacid, excellent. 



QUALITY : Very good for cook- 

 ing; very good for dessert, 



VALUE: First to second class 

 for market.
