The original stock seems to have come from the same nursery and about the same time as that of Mr. Wright's, described above.—Ed. Fruit medium size, round, oblate, red with specks of yellow and an occasional light colored spot, as if shaded by a leaf. Skin rather tough, flesh tender, juicy, sweet or a very mild subacid.

Is a good shipper, good for baking, and good for dessert, for persons who like the sweet varieties. .,* - ' ' It is so much like the Jonathan in ap- pearance that if it were not for its keep- ing qualities and decidedly different fla- vor, it might be easily mistaken for that variety.
