Remarks: Received as were other numbers
above mentioned 3/14/03 from Prof.
Savastano, Naples (Portici) Italy.
through Lathrop and Fairchild.
Fairchild says of it: Grows
well in region about Naples. Does
best in calcareous soils. In cold 
countries the yield is poor
(See S.P.I. Inventory entry under S.P.I.
No. 9471) Arlington trees probably propagated
from nursery trees on Potomac Flats

Characterization: 1924 notes. Medium size or above.
Its general appearance is quite suggestive
of Winter Paradise. Flesh whitish fine
grain, fairly tender, somewhat lacking
in juice, very mild subacid, rather
flat, not much to it. In 1923 the
note read: No good - watercore, subacid,
flat.  (over)  (No 2d sheet)
