Tree large, vigorous, upright; leaves large; glands reniform; flowers large; fruit of medium size, roundish, halves unequal in many; cavity narrow; skin heavily pubescent, greenish-white, thick, tough; flesh whitish, meaty, tender, juicy, astringent; quality below fair; stone medium in size, oval, plump, clinging; ripens late.
Albright Cling II. 1. Wickson Cal. Fruits 318. 1889.
A yellow clingstone grown by a Mr. Albright, Placerville, California. The fruit is described as larger, more highly colored, and more productive than Orange Cling. It should not be confused with the white Albright Cling of the East.

Noblesse Seedling. 5. Soc. Nat. Hort. France Pom. 318 fig., 319. 1904.
This variety was raised many years ago by Thomas Rivers, Sawbridgeworth, England, from seeds of the old Noblesse, a sort at one time prominent in the Old World. Curiously enough Alexandra has been many times confused with Alexander, a variety of American origin differing from the European sort both in color of skin and in season. Although of excellent quality Alexandra seems never to have found favor in America. Tree vigorous, healthy, productive; fruit large, round, marked with a deep suture; skin covered with a rough pubescence, pale, without any color except a few clusters of red dots on the side exposed to the sun; flesh white to the stone, tender, melting, juicy, richly flavored, vinous, sweet; quality very good; stone large, free; season the middle of August.
