Belle Lucrative. The tree which produces 

 this fine fruit was received from the Messrs. 

 Young, of Epsom, England. The size is large, the 

 form round at the blossom end, tapering gradually 

 to the stem ; the skin, when ripe, is a pale yel- 

 low, sometimes with a little dull red next the sun ; 

 the flesh is melting, sweet, juicy, and fine flavored. 

 It bears well, ripens in September and October*
