The calyx should never be imbedded in the flesh, which should be sufficiently firm to carry well, and withstand all changes of our variable climate. The texture should be fine, flesh rich, with a moderate amount of acid--no more than just sufficient to make it palatable with sugar as a table berry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
