| Description |
Originated in Beltsville, Md., by the USDA. Introduced in 1954. Fruit: medium to large, round, halves equal, highly blushed red over golden yellow background, attractive; flesh yellow, especially free from any red through the flesh, but with some red around the stone; very firm melting; excellent flavor; bruise resistant. Well suited for long distance shipping. Trees; productive, vigorous, buds relatively tender to frost; flowers large; susceptibility to bacterial spot disease seems similar to Elberta. |
