CONSEILLER DE HOLLANDS. Fruit, large, three inches and 

 a half long, and two inches and a half wide ; pyramidal, undulating in 

 its outline. Skin, fine golden yellow, considerably covered with rather 

 rough cinnamon-coloured russet, and on the side next the sun with a 

 warm orange glow, interspersed with several broken streaks of dull 

 crimson ; on the shaded side it has a few green specks and large dots. 

 Eye, open, with erect segments, set in a very slight depression. Stalk, 

 an inch long, fleshy, and tapering into the fruit. Flesh, firm and crisp, 

 yellowish, not melting nor juicy, but sweet and with a musky perfume. 



A worthless but handsome fruit, which rots at the core without 

 melting, in the middle of October. 



CONSEILLER RAN WE Z. Fruit, large, three inches and a quarter 

 long, and two inches and three-quarters wide ; pyramidal, even and 

 regularly formed. Skin, rough to the touch in consequence of the 

 large specks of coarse brown russet with which it is in some parts 

 thickly strewed; the ground colour is bright green, which becomes 

 yellowish within a day or two of its ripening. Eye, large and open, 

 with stout, erect segments, placed in a wide shallow basin. Stalk, 

 about half an inch long, rather stout and woody, inserted in a narrow 

 depression, surrounded with a patch of russet. Flesh, fine-grained, 

 half-buttery, tender, and moderately juicy, sweet and brisk, like 

 Autumn Bergamot, without its aroma. 



Of second quality. It rots at the core in October. Mr. Blackmore 

 considers it useless. 



A seedling of Van Mons, which first fruited at Louvain in 1841, and was sent 

 me by M. Papeleu in 1847.

CRAIG'S FAVOURITE. Fruit, medium size; obovate-turbinate. 

 Skin, yellowish green in the shade, almost entirely covered with thin 

 russet, which is again covered with dots and patches of coarser russet ; 

 and next the sun dull red streaked with livelier red, mottled with orange, 

 and thickly strewed with large grey russety dots. Eye, open, full of 

 stamens, with rigid incurved linear segments, which are covered with 

 white down, and set in a shallow, round, and somewhat undulating 

 basin, which is covered with scales of a white russet. Stalk, short, 

 stout, and fleshy, particularly at the base, and obliquely inserted, with
