Characterization: Basis of Comparison is description
of Pom. No. 37739.
Good size - sometimes large; roundish, somewhat
truncate. Ground color pale yellow, pretty well
overspread with bright red, Dots yellowish, somewhat
areole, quite conspicuous; a heavy purplish
bloom. Cavity deep abrupt; basin deep, broad, abrupt;
flesh tinged yellow, fine grain, tender, fairly juicy,
mild to sprightly subacid, rather rich with flavor
slightly suggesting McIntosh - and in some of its other
characteristics. Considered pretty good - but with
a suggestion that the flavor was delicate rather
than of high quality.
