CAILLOT EOSAT (English Caillot Eosat; King Pear). Fruit, 

 above medium size ; pyriform. Skin, smooth, greenish yellow in the 

 shade, and quite covered with a brownish red cheek, and streaks of 

 brighter red on the side next the sun. Eye, open, set in a shallow 

 cavity. Stalk, three-quarters of an inch long. Flesh, tender, very 

 juicy and melting, sweet, and nicely perfumed. 



A nice early pear ; ripe in August. The tree is an excellent bearer. 

 This is not the Caillot Eosat of the French, which is the same as our 

 Summer Eose.

CALEBASSE (Beurre de Payeiwe ; Calebasse d'Hollande ; Calebasse

 irregular and undulating in its outline. Skin, yellow, covered with thin 

 grey russet on the shaded side, and cinnamon russet next the sun. Eye,

 sion. Stalk, an inch and a half long, and obliquely inserted, with a 

 fleshy lip on one side of it. Flesh, crisp, juicy, and sweet. 



A dessert pear of inferior quality ; ripe in October. The tree is an 

 abundant bearer, and succeeds well as a standard.

 Skin, entirely covered with brown russet, which is sprinkled with darker 

 russet dots, and with a yellowish ground on the shaded side. Eye, 

 open, set in a shallow cavity. Stalk, stout, obliquely inserted. Flesh,

 Plantes, Paris. It is 1276 of Van Mons' catalogue.

 rate as to quality, forms a fine ornament in the dessert; ripe in 

 October. 



I do not know with, whom this originated, but it was certainly raised by a M. 

 Delvigne, for it is entered in Van M >ns' catalogue, 2nd series, as "No. 1476 

 Calebasse forme, Delvigne : par son patron."
