 and patches of thin brown russet. Eye, open, set in a slight de- 

 pression. Stalk, an inch and a quarter long, curved, and inserted

 the first time in 1843.

 shallow basin. Stalk, very stout, thick, and fleshy, an inch long, 

 inserted in a round cavity. Flesh, white, tender, juicy, sweet, and
