A yellow fruit of the size of  a large musk or late
Catharine of a dull yellow with faint black clouds
scattered over the skin.  The end towards the stalk
is pointed like a top.  The taste is uncommonly
mild, approaching to insipid.  The flesh is white delicate
and fine grained. When ripe it has not much
juice or flavor.  It ripens from the beginning of
August to the beginning of September.

Midling size
