Remarks: The fruit specimens in the several 
years were received under the name Magnate
- which evidently was in error, since the 
accession record gives the variety clearly as
Magnet.  Scions from Benh. Buckman, Farmingdale,
Ill. 3/9/03.  [Jour entry #28376 is Magnet as stated. HPG]

above; mostly oblate conic, sometimes roundish

yellow nearly completely covered with a heavy

sometimes, Dots fairly numerous, yellowish,
submerged, not conpspicuous. Flesh yellow,

subacid. pleasantl, fairly good, but a
rather peculiar, characteristic flavor, rather
flat. On whole of doubtful value, though
very attractive when well developed. (over)
