samples 12 in. in diameter, 15 in. through the axis; skin rather soft; — 
flesh nearly white, thin, not firm, apparently very poor in quality ; — 
plant vigorous; leaves very deep green, much spotted with grayish 
white, smooth; petioles rather short, channeled, the channels often 
blistered; sparsely hairy.
