GEOS ROUSSELET (Great Eousselet ; Gros Rousselet de Eheims; 

 Grey Goose; Roi d'Ete). Fruit, medium sized ; obtuse pyriform, and 

 rounded at the apex. Skin, yellowish green in the shade, but changing 

 as it ripens to a fine deep yellow colour, with brownish red next the 

 sun, and thickly strewed with russety dots. Eye, small and open, 

 set in a shallow basin. Stalk, an inch and a half to two inches long, 

 thickest at the base, inserted in a small and sometimes two-lipped 

 cavity. Flesh, white, tender, half-melting, very juicy, vinous, and 

 musky. 



A good early pear ; ripe in August and September. It is found only 

 when grown in a warm and sheltered situation that it attains this per- 

 fection ; generally it is apt to be harsh and sour if not properly 

 ripened. A dessert pear ; ripe in August and September. The tree 

 is hardy and vigorous, but an indifferent bearer ; succeeds well either 

 on the pear or quince stock, and is better as an espalier than a 

 standard. 



This variety has been long cultivated in this country, being mentioned by Rea 

 as the "Great Russet of Remes " in 1665.
