Remarks: * Notes indicate that specimens received
in 1924 and 1928 under name Garden Royal
appeared so unlike that variety that they must
have been mislabeled. Notes below exclude these
specimens. There is a possibility that the 2 trees were
different. So far as recalled no check-up was ever made.

Characterization: Notes mostly 1927 Medium size -(though
in 1931 they were reported as small but well developed
and well colored and fine quality); roundish,
some specimens slightly truncate; indistinctly
ribbed. Ground color yellow nearly all-overspread
with medium deep red with indistinct striping.
Dots moderately numerous, large russet, stellar;
Entire surface covered with a coarse leather.
Cracking. Cavity variable sometimes medium in
width and depth; other cases narrow and contracted
like Pewaukee; basin moderate depth,
broad; eye large, open; calyx lobes reflexed.
Flesh yellowish, grain somewhat coarse, lacking
in juice, mild subacid, rather rich, pleasant, good
