colored but rather small for the variety
see general note re [regarding] other lots of Nero.

fairly well colored specimens.  Size medium; fruits
nearly completely covered with rather deep red.  Dots
rather scattered, brownish, areolar, quite
conspicuous. Flesh deeper yellow than most
yellow fleshed varieties, fairly fine grain, quite firm,
juice normal, very mild subacid, rather flat,
no distinctive flavor, only fairly good.
