Characterization:
1924.  10/20: Presumed to be correctly identified though
some discrepancies are noted between paintings
and the spec. in hand.  Descriptions agree in important
details with spec.

Medium size; roundish conic; yellow
ground color.  A fairly heavy overspread of dull
purplish red,  some striping; a grayish
overcast on some spec. with heavy bluish
bloom. Unattractive. Flesh tinged green,
fine grain , fairly juicy, fairly tender; sharply
acid; poor quality.
