Remarks:
Harvest records and fruit notes only
for 1927.  It seems hardly likely that this
was the only season that spec. were examined
but if notes for other years were made
on fruit spec. they have been misplaced.

Characterizaton: 1927 notes only.
Medium to good size.  Form somewhat variable
but in general roundish conic.  Ground color
yellow nearly covered with dark red overspread
with indistinct striping.  Dots numerous, yellowish,
slightly raised, small inconspicuous about basin, but
med size and quite conspicuous on red surface;
same dots appear as minute breaks in skin.
Cavity medium, stem slender, ¾". Basin rather
shallow, fairly broad, calyx lobes rather large
converging, eye usually closed; heavy bluish bloom,
flesh fine grain, firm, with considerable body;
a little lacking in juice; mildly acid approaching
neutral.  Rather pleasant but probably not (over)
