Characterization: Checks well with description #9582.
Size large, usually oblate but in 1927 about
half the fruits were roundish conic; smooth.
Ground color yellow, more or less washed with
light red and indistinct stripes: in 1927 the better
colored specimens were about ½ overspread with
bright red and some stripes.  Dots moderately numerous,
mostly whitish, submerged, inconspicuous,
a few brownish raised.  Flesh yellowish when full ripe,
moderately fine grain, tender juicy, sprightly acid
till full ripe; at best fairly rich but in most
seasons lacks richness, only fair in quality.
In 1924, it was noted as fairly rich, pretty good.  That
year it was picked nearly a month later (over)
