Variety: Grosh (?)
Acc. No. 10879 (K: 25-26 : 2)

In several seasons subsequent
to 1925 observations were made
on this variety in comparison with
other in conflict.  The substance
of those observation follows.

1926, Compared with Summer Rambo.
Acc. No. 6296, these 2 varieties appear
identical. Dots sufficiently variable in 2
varieties so that any previously noted differences
can be reconciled.  Almost complete
absence of red markings in both varieties.
Flavor, texture and all other varietal characteristics
are so definitely similar that it
would be impossible to separate the
2 varieties.

1927, Specimens out of storage & exam. Dec.7.
comparing this variety and Adams (Acc. No.
7191). Dots of this variety variable - some whitish
and submerged, others medium size, brownish,
raised.  Adams dots are larger, more irregular,
appearing as minute breaks in skin.
At this time (12/7) Adams' ground color is
slightly more yellow than this var. Adams'
cavity, somewhat narrower than of this var.
As rule core of Adams is the larger; core line
formation of this var. more oblate than of Adams.
Both var. now show a good deal of brown pitting
beneath the skin, but this var. is worse
than Adams. Basins, eyes, calyx tubes of the
two are indistinguishable.

1928 - Sept. 12. Externally specimens this var.
have all appearances of poorly colored Summer
Rambo. Flesh characters similar to Summer
Rambo, but in flavor it is more acid and
not as rich as that variety - typically is. (over)
