It has become one of the most 
popular varieties for general 
use. The size is often very 
large and the flavor and tex¬ 
ture are of the best. Its color 
is a dark green with finer 
green veining. The shape is 
broad oval with blocky ends, 
and the rind is quite thick. The 
flesh is bright crimson, sweet 
and crisp and the seeds are 
white, tipped and spotted with 
black.
