Remarks: Development of fruit has varied considerably
from year to year. In 1924, it was
finely developed and highly colored. Several
other years it was apparently well finished
but in 1931 it was very coarse and rough,
poorly colored and unattractive.

Characterization: Several references to features suggestive of
McAfee. Size medium to fairly good; sometimes
slightly oblate, slightly conic. mostly regular, uniform,
ground color yellow, nearly overspread with a rather
heavy wash of dark red, with purplish stripes; also about
base on overspread of grayish flecks (buttermilk).
Dots variable, numerous, yellowish, and submerged,
also some brownish and slightly raised.  Sometimes
coarser dots that appear as very short leather cracks - this same
seasonally. Cavity medium, very regular and smooth;
stem ½" to ⅝", rather stout; basin shallow, (over)
