25. GREEN SUMMER SUGAR. Dr. Willich. [C.] 



SUGAR PEAR OF HOYERSWERDA. 



SUGAR D'HOYERSWERDA. 



An excellent new fruit, of moderate size, raised from 

 the seed of the Green Sugar, (Sucre Vert,) cultivated in 

 Lower Lusatia ; it is oblong, but arched towards the crown ; 

 of a grass green shade, spotted in every direction with 

 green and gray dots; the pulp is mellow, without gritti- 

 ness, and surpasses in taste all other summer pears. Its 

 juice is of a vinous and subacid taste, decidedly superior, 

 at least in taste, to the Green Sugar. If it be suffered to 

 ripen on the tree, it acquires a greenish yellow shade. 

 Ripe from the middle to the end of August, and it can be 

 preserved only a few weeks. The tree bears fruit every 

 year ; and the wood remains sound in the severest winters.

L'ARCHIDCC D'ETE. SUMMER BEURRE. Syn. of Coxe. 

 SUMMER DOYENNE, erroneously. 



The tree grows upright and handsome ; it bears young 

 and most abundantly. The fruit is of medium size, in- 

 clining to obovate, tapering towards the stalk, which is 

 short ; the skin is smooth, of a pale yellow color, with a 

 faint blush next the sun ; the flesh is perfectly melting, 

 rich, and juicy. One of the most beautiful and valuable 

 fruits of its season, and deserving an extensive cultivation. 

 It ripens the last of August.
