In January 1948 a student brought in for diagnosis, specimens of a branch canker condition prevalent in his father's orchard at Mexia, Texas. The disease was diagnosed as blotch canker caused by Phyllosticta solitaria. Since he seemer much concerned about the canker on a chance seedling in the fence row, further questioning revealed that the seedling was remarkable in several ways. For one thing it had borne nearly four bushels of tasty fruit in 1947 at five years of age. Moreover it started bearing fruit in its second year and was an annual bearer.
