Plum green in color even when fully ripe, dotted with light specks and marked with a faint and dull red blush in the sun; medium size; pointed or heart-like; flesh juicy and sweet at the center while it is still hard and rind-like near the exterior; fruits run- ning very uneven in size and shape, some of the specimens on our tree being much misshapen (see figure 119). A curious fruit, in some respects suggesting Kelsey. Falls from the tree very early. Perfectly hardy with us thus far. Mr. Normand says that it is a " seedling of a Japanese crossed with a native ;.
