<s>Characterization:</s>
In 1925 and again in 1926 question as to identity
was raised because fruit was so poor in quality
and lacking in other accepted characteristics of
Jefferis. In 1927 the eating quality was much
better than previously - so much so that had it been
equally good in other years, question of identity would
probably not have been raised.

Characterization:
Medium in size,averaging about 2½" in diameter;
smooth, regular, oblate to oblate conic.
Ground color pale yellow in 1927 better colored
fruits are striped and attractive; in 1925, well
washed with red with indistinct stripes (over)
