Characterization:  Good size, fairly regular, slightly oblate
to slightly conic, Ground color yellow, pretty
well covered with blood red wash (varying in
intensity in different years)  and indistinct striping.
Dots many varying from small, yellowish,
to rather large and raised.  Flesh yellowish,
fairly fine ground, tender, moderately juicy
somewhat acid, fairly good but nothing
distinctive, rating perhaps fair to good, but
evidently varying somewhat with season
and degree of maturity.
