Notes on Source

This is a minimal historical record from Downing's compendium, citing Pennsylvania horticultural reports as the original source. No details on tree habit, flesh character, flavor, season, storage, or uses were recorded in the available documentation. The brevity is typical of 19th-century horticultural references for minor or regional varieties of uncertain commercial importance.
