by H. R. Wright. A vigorous, prolific variety which bears free-stone fruits, aver- 
aging about 23 inches in diameter, with golden-yellow skin mottled with red. The 
sweet, juicy, melting flesh is of high quality; the medium-sized pit is pink, slightly 
staining the flesh. Its ripening season is the same as that of Elberta, and it 
thrives as far north as New Jersey. For trial as a home fruit, and for shipping and 
drying. (Chico, Calif.)
