Second sheet, Variety Hubbardston

Storage notes: 1927 Crop, Out of Storage Jan. 5, 1928
Exam Jan. 9, 1928. While apparently in good
physical condition, it has probably lost
flavor. A suggestion of coarseness in texture,
though tender, fairly juicy; a suggestion of
true Hubbardston flavor, but lacking in
richness, rather flat. Hardly good in quality
apparently past its storage season.
A little breaking down of tissue within
the core lines.
