510 THE FEUIT MANUAL. 



Beurre Anglais. See Easter Beurre. 



BEURRE ANANAS. Fruit, small ; pyriforin, even and regular in 

 its outline. Skin, smooth, yellow, with a blush of red on the side next 

 the sun, streaked with dark crimson. Eye, very small and closed. 

 Stalk, very long and slender, inserted without depression. Flesh, 

 yellowish, half buttery, melting, and very juicy, sweet, and with a 

 powerful musky aroma. 



An inferior pear ; ripe in the end of October. This is different from 

 Ananas. 



Beurre d'Angleterre. See Angleterre. 



BEURRE D'ANJOU (Ne Plus Meuris of the French). Fruit, 

 large and handsome, even and regular in its outline, roundish obovate. 

 Skin, greenish yellow, with sometimes a shade of dull red next the sun, 

 marked with patches of russet, and thickly strewed with brown and 

 crimson dots. Eye, small and open, deeply inserted in a wide cavity. 

 Stalk, short and stout, set in a round hole. Flesh, white, very tender, 

 buttery, and melting, very juicy, vinous, and with a delicate rosewater 

 perfume. 



A very superior pear ; ripe in the end of October, and continues in 

 use till December and January. Mr. Blackmore finds it a good fruit, 

 and one that should be largely grown. 



This is quite distinct from the Ne Plus Meuris of Van Mons, and 

 also from Brown Beurre (Beurre Gris), with which Leroy makes it 

 synonymous. 



BEURRE ANTOINE. Fruit, small ; long ovate. Skin, yellowish 

 green, dotted and mottled with brown russet, and a blush of dark red 

 on the side next the sun. Eye, large and open, rather deeply sunk. 

 Stalk, an inch long, slender, inserted perpendicularly with the axis of 

 of the fruit. Flesh, white, melting, extremely juicy, sweet, vinous, and 

 with a very delicate perfume. 



A first-rate pear ; ripe in September. Raised by M. Nerard, of 

 Yaisse, near Lyons. 



Beurre d'Apremont. See Beurre Bosc.
