This 1906 variety was my favorite slicer well into the 50's. Newer cultivars are more prolific, more consistent in color etc. But I still remember this cultivar fondly. 2011, Found seeds and grew it again this year. Performing well, altho not competitive with Olympian, Talledega, or Thunderbird in yield or appearance.

This is my first year for this cultivar. I prefer Straight Eight, which is earlier, and the taste and texture is equally good. With this said, it is still a good variety.
