 spreading in habit. 



Fruit rather large, varying in form, but usually obovate ovate obtuse 

 pyriform, smooth, thin, pale greenish yellow, marked with small green 

 dots, and sometimes with thin patches of greenish brown. Stalk 

 rather slender and straight, an inch or more long, planted in a small, 

 regular cavity. Calyx usually with open divisions, set in a moderately 

 deep basin. Flesh white, fine-grained, and smooth in texture, buttery, 

 very melting, with a rich, sugary flavor, with no admixture of acid.

 vinous flavor. Yery good. First to the middle of September.

 spreading upright in habit, and uniformly productive. Young wood 

 very stout, olive.
