Remarks: Doubt repeatedly expressed as to
correctness of identity because of differences between
fruit and paintings on file etc. Doubt also
as to whether same as No. 3009.  However
characterizations of the two appear to be much alike
except that these were picked in 
general a month earlier than #3009.
Same differences however.

Characterization:
Size medium to below, roundish slightly conic
to slightly oblate.  Ground color yellow, overspread
with dull red wash and striped; Dots numerous,
yellowish, raised, same aerole, conspicuous
giving a coarse finish.  Cavity and basin both
medium, stem ½". medium; calyx lobes fairly large,
converging; eye medium, closed.  Flesh tinged
yellow, fairly fine grain, fairly tender, average juice
mild subacid, rather pleasant but lack richness;
Too small, unattractive and otherwise inferior to be 
of value.  Held for few days, has greasy feel.
