Second sheet, Variety Grand Sultan et al.

Transparent, I endorsed simply the statement
"Apparently OK and typical of the variety."
Seemingly I took the label at face value
and considered the specimens to be Yellow Transparent
However, as a result of my examination of the 1928
specimens, I noted (not going back of the 1922 specimen
label). "Originally reported as Grand Sultan, which I
am inclined to think it is. Fruit averages larger
