PRINCESS OF ORANGE (Princesse Conquete; Princesse d' 'Orange). 

 Fruit, medium sized ; roundish turbinate. Skin, lemon-yellow, but 

 so entirely covered with reddish brown russet as to leave none of the 

 ground colour visible, and with more of an orange tinge next the sun. 

 Eye, small and open, set in a shallow depression. Stalk, an inch long, 

 inserted in a small round cavity. Flesh, yellowish, crisp, and juicy, 

 with a fine sugary and slightly sub-acid flavour. 



A dessert pear of good quality ; ripe in October. The tree is a 

 strong grower, hardy, and a good bearer as a standard, and succeeds 

 well on the quince. 



PROFESSOR BARRAL. Fruit, very large; Bergamot-shaped, 

 uneven and bossed on its surface. Skin, deep yellow, thickly strewed 

 with dots of rough russet, and with a tinge of red next the sun. Eye, 

 small and open, placed even with the surface. Stalk, half an inch 

 long, stout, and inserted in an open cavity. Flesh, melting, juicy, 

 richly flavoured. 



A handsome dessert pear, of good quality ; in use during October 

 and November. 



PROFESSOR DU BREUIL. Fruit, medium sized, three inches 

 and a quarter long, and two and a half wide ; obovate, uneven, and 

 undulating in its outline. Skin, greenish yellow, thickly dotted with 

 russet, and with a tinge of red next the sun. Eye, small and open, 

 level with the surface. Stalk, half an inch long, stout, inserted without 

 depression. Flesh, half-melting, very juicy, with a rich sprightly 

 flavour and a musky perfume. 



An excellent early pear ; ripe in the beginning of September.
