good flavor, vigorous growth, and productiveness, unite to recommend it
to orchard planters.

the eye. Skin, thin and smooth, the ground clear light yellow, nearly
covered by lively red stripes, and deepening into brilliant, or dark
red in the sun. Stalk, three-fourths of an inch long, rather slender,
inserted in a deep regular cavity. Calyx, set in a deep, rather broad
basin. Flesh, white, rarely a little pinkish, very tender and juicy,
