Remarks: Apparently most of above lots were picked
too early.  In each case where picked earlier than
last of Sept. it was noted that fruit was too
immature for quality reading.

of W. N. Irwin, Eckington

oblate, indistinctly ribbed, fairly regular except that
halves are sometimes unequal. Ground color yellow,
nearly covered with brigh red, indistinct stripes.

tinged yellow, fine, grain, firm, tough,
moderately juicy tending to dryness, sweet
but not pleasing, however too immature
9/5/25 for full flavor 11/12/26 - sweet but lacking
in richness - not high quality. (over)
