 highest flavor, and the tree is unusually hardy and vigorous, succeeding

Fruit large, round, deeply divided by a broad suture, and one half 

 a little larger than the other. Skin pale yellowish white, finely dotted 

 with bright red, and deepening into a rich dark-red cheek on one side. 

 Flesh pale, marked with red at the stone (which is small), melting, very 

 juicy, with a remarkably rich, luscious flavor. Ripens the last of 

 August. Freestone.
