380 THE PEAR. 



The DOYENNE PANACHE, or Striped Dean, is a variety rather 

 more narrowing to the stalk, the skin prettily striped with yellow, 

 green, and red, and dotted with brown. Flesh juicy, melting, 

 but not high flavoured. October.

Doyenne Boussouck, (of some.') 



The Gray Doyenne strongly resembles the White Doyenne 

 in flavour and general appearance, except that its skin is covered 

 all over with a fine, lively cinnamon russet. It is a beautiful 

 pear, usually keeps a little longer, and is considered by many 

 rather the finer of the two, but in the valley of the Hudson where 

 both are remarkably fine, we do not perceive its superiority. It 

 is much less known than the foregoing sort, and richly deserves 

 more general attention. Shoots upright, grayish-brown. 



Fruit of medium size, obovate, but usually a little rounder than 

 the White Doyenne. Skin wholly covered with smooth cinna- 

 mon russet, (rarely a little ruddy next the sun.) Stalk half, to 

 three-fourths of an inch long, curved, set in a narrow, rather deep 

 and abrupt cavity. Calyx small, closed, and placed in a smooth, 

 shallow basin. Flesh white, fine grained, very buttery, melt- 

 ing, rich, and delicious. Middle of October, and will keep 

 many weeks. 



[The tree received in this country for Doyenne Boussouck , and 

 Bossouck Nouvelle, have proved synonymous with this variety.] 



104. DUNMORE. Thomp. 



The Dunmore is a large, and truly admirable pear, raised by 

 Knight, which has been introduced into this country from 

 the garden of the London Horticultural Society. It is a strong 

 growing tree, bears exceedingly well, and is likely to become a 

 very great favourite. Its blossoms resist even severe frosts. 



Fruit large, oblong-obovate, rather swollen on one side. Skin 



reenish, dotted and speckled with smooth, brownish-red russet, 

 talk stout, one to two inches long, fleshy at the base, planted 

 obliquoly on an obtuse end, or in a very flat depression. Calyx 

 rather small, open, sunk in a narrow basin. Flesh yellowish- 

 white, baitery, exceedingly melting, with a rich, high-flavour. 

 September.
