514 THE FRUIT MANUAL. 



Beurre Blanc. See White Doyenne. 



BEURRE BLANC DES CAPUCINES. Fruit, large and hand- 

 some ; somewhat oval, even and regular in its outline. Skin, smooth, 

 of a dull yellow colour, with a greenish tinge, strewed with flakes of 

 russet, and with a russet patch round the stalk. Eye, small and half 

 open. Stalk, upwards of an inch in length, woody, inserted in a small 

 round cavity. Flesh, yellowish, coarse-grained, and gritty, half melt- 

 ing or crisp, with a cold acidity. 



An inferior pear, which rots at the core in the middle and end of 

 October. 



Some pomologists make this and Amadotte synonymous, which is a 

 mistake. See Amadotte. 



Beurre Blanc de Jersey. See Besi de la Motte. 

 Beurre du Bois. See Flemish Beauty. 



BEURRE BOISBUNEL. Fruit, small, two inches wide, and two 

 and a quarter long ; obovate or turbinate. Skin, greenish yellow, 

 becoming quite yellow at maturity, having pale brown russet on the 

 side next the sun, freckled with the same on the shaded side, and with 

 a russet patch all round the stalk. Eye, large, open, and prominent. 

 Stalk, about half an inch long, somewhat obliquely inserted on the 

 extremity of the fruit. Flesh, tender, melting, juicy, sweet, with a 

 rich flavour and fine perfume. 



A delicious little pear ; ripe in the third week of September. The 

 tree is a good grower and good bearer. 



It was raised by M. Boisbunel, of Rouen, from seed sown in 1835, and the tree 

 first produced fruit in 1846. 



BEURRE DE BOLLWYLLER. Fruit, medium sized, two inches 

 and a half wide, and three inches long ; obovate or roundish turbinate. 

 Skin, bright yellow when ripe, sprinkled all over with brown russet 

 dots, and flushed with pale red on the side next the sun. Eye, small, 

 slightly depressed. Stalk, three-quarters of an inch long, set in a 

 narrow depression. Flesh, tender and melting, very juicy, and richly 

 flavoured, and with a slight musky aroma. 



A good late pear when it ripens properly. In use from March till 

 May, but, like all very late pears, it is of uncertain merit. It was 

 raised by Messrs. Baumann, of Boll wy Her, near Colmar. 



BEURRE BOSC (Beurre d'Jprem,ont/ Beurre Eose ; Canelle ; 

 Marianne Nouvelle). Fruit, large ; pyriform. Skin, almost entirely 

 covered with thin cinnamon-coloured russet, leaving here and there only 

 a small portion of the yellow ground colour visible. Eye, open, placed 

 in a shallow basin. Stalk, about an inch and a half long, inserted 

 without depression. Flesh, white, melting, and buttery, very juicy, 

 rich, and aromatic. 



A dessert pear of first-rate quality ; ripe in October and November.
