Characterization: Medium size, smooth, regular,
slightly oblate conic.  Very attractive when well
finished as it was some seasons at Arlington.
Ground color yellow, usually heavily striped with
bright red, sometimes stripes merging into a solid
wash with only indistinct stripes. some seasons
a heavy overspread of buttermilk, other small amount
of gray flecks only.  Cavity medium, some russeting,
stem ¾" slender. Basin rather shallow, moderatley
broad, calyx lobes converging; eye medium, closed.
Dots few, yellowish, inconspicuous. Flesh yellowish
fine grain, tender, moderately juicy, too acid for pleasant,
eating out of hand.  Quality variable - moderately rich to
lacking; fairly good to good to very good; and poor out of storage.
