          sepals fairly large, converging; eye rather large,
usually closed, sometimes partially open.
Flesh white or slightly tinged yellow, satiny,
unusually fine grain, tender, fairly juicy,
sprightly subacid, usually fairly rich, fairly
good, with characteristic flavor pleasant to
some, probably not appealing to others.
The most striking characteristic is its very
fine grain is almost as smooth as
a pear.

On Aug 26, 1925 it was noted that the fruits
were breaking down internally, the trouble
centering about the core resulted in a
brownish corky texture, which sometimes
extended throughout the flesh to that it 
was visible on the skin.  Sept. 16,
1927 it was noted that the above
trouble was entirely absent this year.
