. Elliott's fruit book;. Fruit-culture; Fruit. [from old catalog]. 68 THE Origin unknown. Tree, thrifty, slender, very productive, on warm rich soils. Size, medium to large; form, round ; color, light yellow, striped, and splashed with red, a little bronzed russet about the stem, and often a blue tinge marbled toward the stem resembling a bloom; stem, short; cavity, open, deep, regular; calyx, small, half open; basin, shallow, regular; flesh, white, with a slight tinge of yellow, tender, crisp, juicy, sub-acid, sprightly; core, medium or small; seeds obo- vate pyriform. Season, December to March. This is distinct from the Baltimore, of Lindley, which is of pale lemon color, tinged with red, and with large open calyx. "This is a variety somewhat resembling the Newton Spitzenberg, and we have testimony of one or two who say they know it under that name. We are not, however, satisfied of their identity, and as the really good qualities of this fruit are such as to make it desira- ble in all collections, we have no hesitation in recommending it. Thus far all specimens wTe have seen were from trees grown in rich, loamy soils, and all we can learn of its history is that it came from Bethlehem, in Ohio. Size, medium; form, roundish, flattened, tapering slightly to the apex; color, pale yellow ground, striped and stained with two shades of bright red, dotted wTith irregular shaped brown dots, some russet about the stem: calyx, medium, sometimes large ; basin, deep, broad, irregular, somewhat furrowed; stem, short; cavity, narrow, irregular ; flesh, yellowish white, tender, with a mild sub-acid juice, and exceedingly pleasant flavor ; core, small, compact; seeds, obovate, obtuse pyriform. Season, November to January, but keeps until April.
