This is a most excellent fruit, rather large, very juicy and but- 

 tery, somewhat coarse-grained, about half melting. Shape pecu- 

 liar roundish obovate, and rather angular. Skin, bright, dark green, 

 changing to a greenish yellow, much dotted with green spots. 



The hardiness and vigor of the tree and remarkable produc- 

 tiveness entitle it to high estimation as a market pear, although 

 the fruit is hardly high-colored enough for the whimsical taste of 

 a capricious public. 



Its growth indicates fitness for the Quince. Season, October 

 and November.
