Remarks: Notes on fruit allon 1926 crop
including storage fruit examined
in March 1927.  The gist of the notes
concerns the similarity of this fruit
to Whitney Russet with query as to whether
the 2 varieties as grown at Arlington
are not identical. In 1926 the specimens
examined averaged a little smaller than Whitney
Russet.  Russeting, a little coarser and rougher
than Whitney Russet.  Dots about same as
Whitney.  Flesh is yellowish, fairly fine grain,
fairly juicy, rather breaking, mild subacid
does not seem as rich as high quality
as Whitney and is not keeping as well as
Whitney.  A good many specimens show decay
and spots occur that look like bitter rot infections
(continued under storage)
