Characterization: - Large: roundish slightly oblate
uniform, smooth, little inclined to lopsidedness.
Ground color, yellowish, with wide stripes and splashes
of dull red.  A little suggestion of Pewaukee about cavity
and manner of striping.  Cavity shallow, abrupt,
russeted. Basin shallow, broad; eye varies from
small, closed to large, open.  Dots large, irregular,
brownish raised; also many minute whitish
depressed, inconspicuous.  Flesh tinged yellow,
tender, moderately juicy, mildly acid sprightly
with peculiar characteristic flavor, not unpleasant
quality variously appraised in different seasons
from fairly good to indifferent with little to 
commend it.
