Remarks: Scions from Mr. Irwin 3/27/08
*Picking date noted as unduly
delayed.

Whether both this No.- Acc. 6417 and 7195 werer from
scions received from Mr. Irwin is a question. Records
indicate rather definitely that the latter was at least.

Characterization:Small to medium (mostly small), fairly
regular, sometimes more or less ribbed, occasionally
compressed; roundish conic to slightly oblate.
Ground color, fully mature, rich yellow washed with deep
blood red, sometimes nearly solid, sometimes striped.
Dots numerous, large, areole, raised, conspicuous,
appearance is a little coarse but deep yellow in
contrast with dark red is rather striking. Stem ½"
flesh distinctly yellow, somewhat satiny, fairly
fine grain, firm, good body, moderately juicy, mild
subacid, fairly rich, pleasant, at its best, pretty good,
but small size and none too attractive appearance
leave it without much real merit.
