Remarks: This variety does not develop at Arlington
in a manner typical of the variety in
the North or Northwest. As rule, color is rather
poor, some seasons the finish is rought and
flavor only slightly characteristic of the variety
at its best. Scions from N. Y. Expt. Sta. 1902

Characterizations: Usually fairly good size for variety. roundish
conic, regular except for the usual ribbing.
Ground color yellow, usually washed with dull faded
red; often the wash is thin; sometimes it develops a
fairly bright color.  Dots numerous variable some
slightly raised. some large areolar surrounded by a 
rather conspicuous yellow ring; some of these areolar
dots are minute breaks in the skin making a roughly
finished coarse appearing fruit Flesh yellowish,
fine grain, crisp, breaking, medium juice mildly
acid, fairly good but characteristic aromatic
spicy flavor is usually much diluted or lacking.
