Scions from Geo. Balderson, Clara, Md 3/9/03

Characterization: Notes mosly in 1925
Size medium, regular, except tendency for sides to be
slightly unequal, roundish conic to slightly oblong
conic.  Some specimens suggest small Delicious
in form, with similar knobbing at apex.
Ground color yellow, pretty well overspread in highly
colored specimens with bright red and indistinct
striping, Dots minute, numerous, depressed about
apex; about base dots quite large, surrounded by a
yellowish area - quite conspicuous. Flesh yellow
moderately fine grain, tender; very mildly acid, practically
neutral, rather flat flavor; no apparent merit.
In 1924, it was referred to as fairly juicy and pretty
good in dessert quality. (No 2d sheet)
