Characterization: Medium to good size; oblong conic,
smooth except indistinct ribbing. Ground color yellowish
when fully mature, overspread w ith dull coppery red, sometimes
some stripes. Dots variable, moderately numerous,
sometimes inconspicuous, some yellowish and rather conspicuous.
Cavity fairly deep, rather abrupt, many times
somewhat lipped; stem medium, ⅝". Basin medium,
sometimes abrupt; calyx lobes long, converging; eye
medium, closed.  Flesh lightly tinged yellow, perhaps
becoming more yellow as maturity advances; fairly fine grain,
firm rather acid. In one case described as rich, but
in others lack of richness was mentioned, and while pleasant
it was apparently considered as only fairly good, with
little to commend it.  Water core mentioned 2 or 3 times.
