Origin unknown; some claim it for Alabama, others Georgia; tree a vigorous but straggling grower, very productive.
Fruit rather large, oblate conic; surface greenish yellow, striped and splashed with red, darkest on sun side; dots large, light; cavity deep, russeted; stem slender; basin slightly corrugated; calyx closed; segments long, slender; flesh whitish, tender, juicy, aromatic, acid; good. September, October.
Origin, Clayton Co., Georgia, some twenty-five miles south of Atlanta; tree moderately vigorous, of rather slender open growth, with abundant healthy foliage; an early and heavy annual bearer. Prof. H. N. Starnes, of Georgia Experiment Station, reports it valuable for the South, owing to its very late keeping, good quality, and extreme productiveness; its faults are its want of size, produced by its tendency to overbear, and its too firm texture in early winter.
Fruit medium or below, oblate, regular; surface a clear light yellow, mostly covered with fine dark red, with carmine splashes and stripes; dots distinct, many, minute, yellow, some large russet dots; cavity regular, obtuse, often russeted; stem medium; basin smooth, wide, shallow or medium depth; calyx closed; segments flat convergent. Core closed; cells ovate, axile; tube funnel-shaped; stamens marginal; seeds few, short, plump; flesh yellow, fine-grained, firm, juicy, mild, pleasant, saccharine, subacid, very good. Late winter and spring, even keeping till July.

Core large, closed, clasping; cells obovate or round, slit; tube broad, long, funnel-shaped; stamens median; seeds plump; flesh white, juicy, sprightly acid, good. August.
