[begin left margin text]
Scions from Mr.
Irwin 3/10/08.
Propagated from
Pom No. 11846-
A seedling scions
of which came
from Henry W. Hope, Paint, Ohio 4-20-96)

Remarks:From above records
it is apparent that, for some reason
production was very poor.
Called Hope after the man who sent
scions from which trees were propagated.
Apparently no record on file of what this variety is like.

Characterization
Size medium, to fairly large some seasons; regular;
smooth except indistinct ribbing; roundish to
slightly oblate. Ground color greenish yellow,
with surface pretty well covered with broken
stripes and splashes of red (in some seasons).
Flesh tinged yellow, moderately fine grain,
fairly juicy. mild subacid, poor to fair in
quality. Sept 1/26 & Aug. 17/27 referred to as still quite
firm.

Likely green cast in ground color would normally
turn yellow. Noted in 1926 that some varieties at
Arlington did not color well some of the yellow ones
having a greenish shade, and few stripes on normally
striped varieties.
