Remarks: There is so much confusion in this
case that the few notes are worthless. Record is
here made merely to account for the accession
number and the tree location.

The fruit specimens in 1922 & 1923 were labeled
Grand Sultan; in 1925 &1928 Yellow Transparent
<s>Characterization:</s>
However, the Arlington Accession Card record
indicates that Acc. No. 6328 should be Yellow
Summer Pearmain - which name appears
in B.P.I. Bul 56 only as a synonym of Porter,
How it happened or by whose approval the acc. no.
name was dropped out and the name Grand
Sultan substituted is now unknown (2/11/42).
In 1923, Mr. Brunk (or possibly Clare), entered on the fruit
specimen label-" This and Yellow Transparent seem
identical".  The next 2 lots of fruit (1925 & 1928)
from Arlington were labeled Yellow Transparent  (over)
(cont on next page).
