 large, pale blush. Fruit middle sized, somewhat 

 broadly globular. Suture rather deep at the base, but

 a deeper colour on the sunny side. Flesh firm, pale 

 yellowish white to the stone, to which it closely adheres. 

 Juice sugary, and well flavoured. Stone middle sized, 

 shortly ovate, thick, not deeply rugged.
