The fruit is short and turbinate; of medium size; of a 

 yellow, or sometimes gray yellow color ; the flesh breaking,

 [R. 4.] CRASSANNE. Bergamotte Crassanne. 



Some state that this fruit derives its name from crassus, 

 [thick ;] but M. Quintinie says from ecrase, [to crush.] It 

 is over medium size ; roundish turbinate; greenish yellow, 

 coated with russet ; the flesh tender, melting ; juice rich, 

 sugary. October. This fruit is no longer to be trusted ; 

 it is liable to canker and to blight.

 cinnampn color, but red next the sun ; the flesh yellowish 

 white, melting, saccharine, rich, and of excellent flavor. 

 Season, October. This once excellent variety has now 

 become as liable to blight at Salern as the St. Michael.
