Remarks: From references in notes it seems
evident that most of the lots were picked
too early. Even in 1924, when picked 2 to
3 weeks or more later than in other years
the report reads: "Too immature now [10/16] to
determine quality"

Characterization:  Size, medium or above; somewhat
oblate. Ground color, grayish partially overspread
with wash of dark red, but with green undercolor
showing through, there is produced a dull grayish
unattractive finish. Some seasons a smooth surface
with partial overspread of heavy bright red making
an attractive finish. Apparently finish is quite
susceptible to seasonal conditions.
Calyx tube is a large open cylinder extending nearly
or quite to the core, suggestive of Huntsman in
this respect. Flesh tinged yellow, fine grain
