Blossom dates:

1926 - 4/29, 90% buds open

Remarks: In 1925 it was noted that the trees in
bloom were very attractive.
Some specimens of this variety found one
fall early in Nov. under the tree where they had
been buried in the grass were about the
finest in quality of any of the variety I ever sampled.

Characterization:
Size variable from medium to fairly large -
form also variable from slightly elongated, through round,
to somewhat oblate typically lopsided, sometimes
halves unequal. Ground color pale yellow nearly
completely overspread with purplish bloom.  Dots
numerous ranging from yellow and inconspicuous,
to fairly good size and more conspicuous; some
slightly areole. Flesh yellow, fairly fine grain,
tender, crisp and breaking when in prime condition,
quite juicy, very mild subacid, rich; when in
prime condition is especially high quality. If
eaten when a little immature it is flat and flavorless.
