PEAKS. 649 



obtuse pyriform. Skin, thin and smooth, of a beautiful pale yellowish 

 green, thickly dotted with rough brown and greenish russety dots, and 

 markings of russet round the eye and near the stalk. Eye, very small, 

 frequently without any segments, and set in a slight depression. 

 Stalk, half an inch long, slender, inserted in a small cavity, which is 

 sometimes as if pressed on one side by a fleshy swelling. Flesh, 

 whitish, fine-grained, tender, very juicy and melting, with a rich, 

 sweet, and musky flavour. 



An excellent summer dessert pear ; ripe in the end of August and 

 beginning of September. The tree is hardy, a good and most abundant 

 bearer as a standard, and succeeds well either on the pear or quince. 



It was raised at Hoyerswerda,m Saxony, and is supposed to have been produced 

 from seed of Sucree Vert. 



Sucree Doree. See Napoleon. 



SUCREE VERT (Green Sugar). Fruit, medium sized; roundish 

 turbinate. Skin, pale lively green, which becomes yellowish when 

 ripe, but still retains its green colour, dotted all over with numerous 

 green and greyish dots, with a few slight traces of russet. Eye, small 

 and open, with reflexed segments, and set in a, wide and shallow basin. 

 Stalk, an inch long, stout, and inserted in a small cavity, and some- 

 times pressed on one side by a swollen protuberance. Flesh, yellowish 

 white, very juicy, buttery, and melting, rather gritty at the core, 

 and with a fine, sweet, and perfumed flavour. 



An excellent dessert pear ; ripe in October. The tree is very hardy 

 and very vigorous, bears abundantly as a standard, and succeeds well 

 either on the pear or quince stock. 



SUFFOLK THORN. Fruit, medium sized ; roundish turbinate. 

 Skin, pale lemon-yellow, covered with numerous small dots and irregular 

 patches of pale ashy grey russet, which are most numerous on the 

 side next the sun. Eye, very small and open, set in a deep basin. 

 Stalk, short and stout, not deeply inserted. Flesh, yellowish white, 

 exceedingly melting, buttery, and juicy, with a rich sugary juice, 

 exactly similar in flavour to Gansel's Bergamot. 



A most delicious pear ; ripe in October. The tree is quite hardy, 

 and an excellent bearer, forming a handsome pyramid on the pear 

 stock. At Teddington Mr. Blackmore says it is " a very good pear, 

 but rather small." On the Weald of Sussex Mr. Luckhurst says " the 

 fruit is sweet, juicy, and has some aroma, but is quite second-rate in 

 flavour." 



This was raised from Gansel's Bergamot by Andrew Arcedeckene, Esq., of 

 Clavering Hall, Suffolk.
