THE PEAK. 



It is shaped a good deal like the Brown Beurre". A Flemish 

 variety. 



Fruit large, oblong, obovate, tapering to the stalk, which is 

 about an inch long, curved, and set below a fleshy protuberance 

 or lip and without depression. Skin pale green, with thin 

 russet on one side. Calyx open, and set in a small, narrow 

 basin. Flesh tender and soft, juicy and sweet, but not hign 

 flavoured. Last of September. 



This fruit is abundant near Boston. We received, by some 

 error, a winter fruit, under this name, from the Horticultural 

 Society of London.
