flavor.

\AIEAMERICA SELECTION 7 Honorable Mention 1948 
This Bermuda variety was developed by the U.S.D.A. and 
72-78 days 
the California and Texas Experiment Stations, particularly 
for use in Texas, where its extreme uniformity results in 
high yield. It is almost free from bolters and doubles and is 
not supposed to be a good keeper. It is a little deeper than 
Yellow Bermuda and considerably larger, with very mild, 
cream colored flesh.
