the center marked by a mere dot in the more regular fruits, other sam- 
ples representing all degrees of distortion; cells 8 to many, usually 
small, not always filled by the seeds; flesh rather soft, center very well 
filled; — plant very vigorous; leaves 2-pinnate in the lower half; leaf- 
lets rather deeply cut; calyx lobes nearly or quite as long as the 
corolla; — season medium. 
No. 48. YELLOW VICTOE, Greg., '83, '87. 
Fruit of medium size, bright, clear yellow; oblate; outline usually 
more or less angular, sometimes corrugated; cavity very small, 
scarcely furrowed; basin wanting in the smaller fruits, often fissured 
in the larger ones; cells 5 to 9, usually small; flesh moderately firm, 
center well filled; — plant moderately vigorous; leaves usually 2- 
pinnate in the lower half; leaflets rather strongly blistered and deeply

inclination to become ringed, rarely sufficiently irregular to deform 
the fruit; cells numerous, small; flesh very thick, moderately firm, 
center well filled; — plant very vigorous; leaves not often 2-pinnate, 
leaflets very broad except toward the terminii of the branches, little 
blistered; — season medium. 
Another Golden Queen, seed from Thor., '87, was distinct from the 
above in having the fruit of medium size, and showing a considerable 
inclination toward red in the part opposite to the stem. The leaflets 
were also rather narrower, and the fruit ripened slightly earlier.
