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.
