Fruit

Size and Form: The two sources conflict. Central Experimental Farm describes the fruit as medium size, flatish, conical, and somewhat ribbed. Hansen describes it as small, roundish oblate, and obscurely angular.

Stem: Medium (Hansen). Not described in source (Central Experimental Farm).

Cavity: Narrow, acute, with a trace of russet (Hansen). Not described in source (Central Experimental Farm).

Calyx: Closed; segments divergent, long (Hansen). Not described in source (Central Experimental Farm).

Basin: Shallow, wrinkled (Hansen). Not described in source (Central Experimental Farm).

Skin: The two sources conflict substantially. Central Experimental Farm describes the skin as clear yellow, with no mention of overcolor. Hansen describes the surface as yellow, mostly covered with numerous dark crimson stripes and splashes, with dots obscure, few, minute, and whitish.

Flesh and Flavor: The sources conflict. Central Experimental Farm describes the flesh as yellowish white, crisp, tender, juicy, of very fine flavor, and nearly sweet, rating quality as good. Hansen describes the flesh as white, juicy, and subacid, rating it good.

Core and Seeds: Core closed; cells ovate, entire; tube funnel-shaped; stamens median; seeds ten, plump, short, rounded (Hansen). Not described in source (Central Experimental Farm).
