Remarks: Received as scions March 9, 1903
from Benj. Buckman, Farmingdale, Ill.
under name Dr. Fulcher.

Characterization: Medium size, roundish conic
Ground color yellowish nearly covered with bright
red and more or less striping - the latter largely
disappearing in the more highly colored fruits.
A very heavy overspread of buttermilk, so much so
that in some specimens it largely obscures the
red color.  Dots fairly numerous sometimes mostly
submerged; somtimes pale yellow and inconspicuous
on red surface, rather conspicuous elsewhere.
Basin nearly absent, many specimens Roman stem in
Cavity. Flesh tinged yellow, fairly fine grain, very
tender, fairly juicy, fairly rich with rather even balance
between sugars and acid making it different to say which
predominates. In season 9/27/27, overripe 10/2/26.
