Definitions

  • Seed of the Kirkman Gem was planted in such plot during February 1943, and the parent tree .of the instant variety fruited, and was observed to be of novel character, in October 1945.
  • the present variety is a larger tree and bears fruit which ripens seven to eight weeks later, but is of comparable market quality, being further characterized by its ability to better withstand cold storage.
  • the tree of the present variety is more vigorous and larger, and bears fruit which ripens one to two weeks later; such fruit being more highly colored, and being more suited to long distant shipment, on account of lack of the soft stripe along the suture, which characterizes the Kirkman Gem.
