Kalamazoo. 



Flesh : color yellow, red at pit ; texture moderately tender and juicy ; flavor fairly sweet. 

 Quality : dessert poor ; cooking good.

 large, showy variety. 



Season ; mid to late September.

 very profitable because the tree is not very productive and the fruit is inclined to drop before 

 it reaches its best condition.

Tree: vigorous ; only fairly productive. 



Fruit: large to very large ; color dull yellow or olive green, with dark ired cheek ; cavity 

 large and deep ; suture traceable ; free stone. 



Flesh; deep yellow, red at the stone ; texture juicy and melting ; flavor rich, vinous. 



Quality : dessert good ; cooking very good. 



Value: market, first class. 



Season : late September.
