Fruit-culture -- United States; Fruit. Fruit, medium size, round heart-shape, slightly compressed on one side ; color, a bright, lively red, mottled with amber in the shade; Jlesh, amber color, stained slightly with red next the pit, radiating lines slight; tender, sweet, and delicious when fully ripe, it is often gathered before fully ripe, when it is a little bitter; pit, above medium size, oblong rounded ; stem, medium, inserted in a narrow, slight depression.
