Old-time white-fleshed favorite, surprisingly hardy in spite of its origin. Large beautiful roundish-oval cream-colored fruit with a bright red blush and thin tender skin. Flesh is white, tinged with red, firm, melting, juicy, very high quality. Freestone. Very good fresh eating, cooking and canning.

Large vigorous productive tree. Resistant to bacterial spot, slight resistance to brown spot. Hardier than we originally thought; we now know of trees fruiting well almost as far north as Bangor. Z4/5. (3–6' bare-root trees)
