Characterization: Good size, roundish, slightly conic,
some fruits indistinctly truncate, sometimes lopsided;
sometimes halves unequal - but most of
fruits fairly regular.  Ground color deep yellow, pretty
well overspread with bright red and some stripes
and splashes; color effect is somewhat suggested by
a rich golden yellow ground showing through
more or less, a bright red over color.  Some grayish
over color and heavy purplish bloom.  In 1926
mention was made of considerable leather cracking
not referred to in other years.  (over)
