Eemarks. — Eots at core before it looks ripe. Fine in 

 flavor, however, when sound. Exhibited by A. H, Ernst, 

 in August, 1855. Committee considered the specimens 

 " very fine ; a first-rate fruit." Not much cultivated, yet, in 

 this vicinity. If it generally rots, which is likely, it will 

 be better to regraft old trees, and cease cultivating it. 

 Committee must have been in error about this fruit ; not 

 a first-rate fruit. Good on alternate years, when it bears 

 heavy crops. It is of fair size for market, although it 

 comes in with the great Bartlett. Specimens of the same 

 fruit will often vary very much — so much so as often to 

 deceive the most experienced. It sometimes requires 

 several trials of the same fruit to be infallible.
