Remarks: Scions received 3/14/03 as were
others above mentioned from Prof.
L. Savastario, Naples, Italy through
Lathrop and Fairchild. See S.P.I.
Inventory entry under No. 9470
Fairchild says of it: A lemon-yellow fruited
variety - one of the best market varieties in
Southern Italy. Hard, crisp, slightly tough,
flesh subacid and highly flavored.

Characterization: Below medium in size, oblong oval
in shape, somewhat lopsided, often
sides unequal, Ground color yellow,
in 1923, a slight purplish red blush,
numerous conspicuous russet dots in 1924.
Flesh tinged yellow, fine grain, tough,
fairly juicy, mild subacid, fairly pleasant.
Too small and inferior in appearance
and too lacking in merit generally to be of
value here. Might be of more value in
the South. (over)  (no 2d sheet)
