inclining to oblong. Skin pale yellow, becoming amber in the 
shade, richly dotted and spotted with yery deep red, and with a 
fine marbled dark crimson cheek. Flesh very firm (almost too 
much so), juicy, with an excellent flavour, Stalk very stout, 
short, and set in a narrow cavity. Ripens a few days after the 
Bigarreau, about the first of July, and is a good and constant 
bearer. The fruit is not so obtuse as the Bigarreau. _

it identical. Requires further trial to decide correctly.

a general favourite in all our gardens; 
and in size, flavour, and productiveness 
it has no superiour among black cher-

leaves, and the erect habit of its head.
