But from your discription and my memory I would saw I have the original. Definately oblate tho I'm not sure about the blush. And the plants always seemed to be big / indeterminate.
Thanks,

Carol, just to add to what Craig wrote, yes, either Craig or myself, I can't remember which one of us got Golden Queen from the USDA in 1994 and we both listed it in the 1994 SSE Yearbook.
And yes, it closely matches the original Livingston description and if one reads the listings of others clearly there has been a version of Golden Queen that has not matched the original description that had been circulating for quite a while.
The one we got out in 1994 is referred to at most places as Golden Queen (USDA strain)
Actually it was a fruit that Livingston got at a farmers market, grew it out, made a selection or two, I can't remember without going back and reading his book, and then in 1882 releasing it as Golden Queen.
