Originated in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana; average specimens measuring 12 inches in circumference, and selected specimens have measured up to 14 inches; and it is said to have reached to the enormous size of 18 inches around on the rich alluvial land of Bayou Rouge.

It is high flavored and a remarkable keeper. Ripe specimens have been kept eight days after being picked. The peach is roundish oblong; skin, pale creamy color and slightly shaded on the sunny side with red; flesh white, juicy, melting, sweet and vinous, adheres closely to the stone: and when fully ripe peels like the banana. Will ripen in the latter part of July in that part of the world. The size more than compensates for the lack of quantity.
