53. BEURRE" DE CAPIAUMONT. Thomp. 



Capiumont. Lind. 



A Flemish pear, very fair, and handsomely formed, and 

 such a capital bearer, and so hardy in all soils and seasons, that 

 it is already a very popular orchard and garden fruit. It is al- 

 ways good, sometimes 

 first rate, but when the 

 tree is heavily laden, it is 

 apt to be slightly astrin- 

 gent. It grows freely; 

 branches a little pendant, 

 grayish -yellow. 



Fruit of medium size, 

 long turbinate, very even, 

 and tapering regular- 

 ly into the stalk. Skin 

 smooth, clear yellow, 

 with a light cinnamon or 

 cinnamon red cheek, and 

 a few small dots and 

 streaks of russet. Calyx 

 large, with spreading 

 segments, prominently 

 placed, and not at all 

 sunk. Stalk from three- 

 fourths to an inch and a 

 half long, curved. Flesh 

 fine grained, buttery, 

 melting, sweet, and when 

 not astringent, of high 

 flavour. September and 



October. 



This is quite distinct 

 from the Frederick of
