Remarks: Both numbers were received from
H. C. Cook, White Salmon, Wash. No. 3049
as scions, Apr. 5, 1902 and no. 4387 on Apr 3,
1903. The picking records above marked
thus (*) are from No. 3049; the others from
No. 4387. The characterization combines both.

Characterization:
Good size, roundish conic, regular, smooth
except for slight ribbing. Ground color, yellow
covered with deep red and distinct stripes of
darker red; a heavy bluish bloom, and
pencilings of butterilk. Dots scattered, white
or yellowish, small, inconspicuous. Flesh
yellowish, moderately fine grain, moderately tender,
fairly juicy, mild subacid, flat, only fair in quality.
Sept. 2, 1927. Now very firm and hard; flesh
tough with immature taste. Probably picking
should have been delayed.

Striking in appearance; quality poor.
