Large, oblong-pyriform; basin deep and irregular; skin smooth, pale yellow ; quality variable, but if picked as soon as mature and allowed to ripen in a cool, dark room, the quality is improved wonderfully. The tree is of remarkable vigor ; foliage dense and lux- uriant ; hardy everywhere, but of greatest value in the South. Smith's. Almost identical with Le Conte in size, shape and color; but perhaps a little earlier. Garber. A seedling of China Sand ; resembles Kieffer in size, shape and quality ; ripens September, between Le Conte and Kieffer ; a very thrifty grower and valuable variety. NEW VARIETIES. Idaho. A chance seedling originated near Lewistown, Idaho. It is of the largest size, specimens weighing 23 ounces ; color greenish yellow, with russety spots ; form roundish, obovate; flesh almost white, fine grained, buttery, melting, juicy; flavor good, rich, sprightly vinous; core exceedingly small and without seeds; August and September. Lincoln Coreless. This fruit has neither seeds nor core, being all solid, rich meat; it is from Tennessee, where the original tree is still standing, over 60 years old, and has seldom failed to bear. Fruit very large ; sometimes weighing from 1 to 1% pounds, high colored and hand- some; flesh of a rich yellow tint, mellow and aromatic.
