Characterization: Small Regular smooth, roundish slightly
conic to a little oblate conic. Ground color yellow,
pretty well overspread with bright red very fine
mottling and striping. Yellow color shows through
the mottling giving effect of an apple not well colored;
a light purplish bloom.  Cavity medium width and
depth; stem ½" or less, slender. Basin rather shallow,
medium width; calyx lobes usually large, sometimes
small; eye open or closed depending mainly on size of calyx
lobes. Flesh yellow, fine grain, very tender (perhaps somewhat
overripe). 1926 - Aug - 3 - a little lacking in juice, mildly acid
in prime probably fairly rich - spec have probably lost
flavor from over-ripeness. (over)
