Remarks:
1928 notes refer to 1927 records which evidently
have been misplaced. 1928 notes indicate
the specimens were picked much too early
as fruit was very immature and possessed
but very little flavcor.  1928 notes further state
that leather cracking mentioned in 1927
was absent in 1928.

Characterization:
Presumed to be OK.  Nothing available to check with.
size small. Ground color yellow, highly
colored specimens washed with bright red and some
indistinct stripes.  Dots numerous, large, raised
irregular; 1926 notes say much fine leather cracking,
apparently alsoin 1927 but absent in 1928, conspicuous
russet or brownish dots.  A rather coarsely finished fruit.
Flesh yellowish, fine grain, firm.  rather tough (1926)
moderately juicy, nearly or quite sweet . sept. picked
spec. flat with no pronounced flavor.  Later picked fruit
quite sweet, moderately rich, a suggestion of astringency,
