Characterization:
1924 notes only - 
Good size, ground color yellowish
when fully ripe, well overspread with 
red and indistinct striping; a purplish
bloom;  a grayish overcast in some
specimens.  The finish is rather rough
yet fruits are not unattractive in
appearance.  Flesh moderately fine grain,
moderately juicy, very mildly acid, with a
rather unpleasant flavor that might be
described as a ground flavor.  (no second sheet)
