Characterization: 1926 notes - Medium size, slightly oblate conic,
smooth, regular, skin yellow, no suggestion of
any red. Dots numerous, submerged, whitish, mostly
almost imperceptible, but few scattered, yellowish or
brownish, irregular, sometimes appearing as short
leather cracks. Flesh tinged yellow, fairly fine
grain, tender, quite juicy, sweet, fairly
rich; higher quality and less flat and insipid
than most sweet varieties.  In 1927 leather cracks
were absent; a few specimens are russeted in cavity.
8/10/27 flavor not fully developed - picked too early apparently.
