 sunshine. The fruit is middling or large, round or 

 slightly depressed, well shaped. The rind is deep 

 yellow, often shaded rose. The flesh is yellowish, tender, 

 juicy, of very good flavour. Matures in November-

 but little productive. Requires the shade. The fruit 

 is large, often slightly ribbed, greenish white, flushed 

 light pink. The flesh is white and firm, but tender.

22 CALVILLE ROUGE D'HIVER. The tree is rather 

 weak, with slender branches, and its production is poor. 

 Thrives best in the open. The fruit is large and conical; 

 the rind is yellow, almost entirely covered red, and 

 deeper red towards the sun. The flesh is white, some- 

 times shaded rose, tender and crisp, very sugary, with

 in pots, but is too weak for the market grower.
