BOOK OF FRUITS. 69 



Prince &. Sons, of Flashing ; but as there are 

 two pears bearing this name, one European, 

 the other American, it is uncertain to which 

 the specimen belonged ; in size and shape it 

 resembles the Seckle ; the skin is yellow, with 

 a large portion of dull red ; the flesh sweet, 

 juicy and good. The tree bears young, and 

 when more advanced promises to be a great 

 bearer. Ripe in September. 



No. 14. Citron de Sirentz. 



This tree was procured from Messrs. Bau- 

 mans, of Bollwiller ; in size, shape, colour, 

 taste and time of ripening, it resembles the 

 Crawford. 



No. 15. Rousselette de Rheims. 



This pear is of medium size, the form is 

 oval, blunt at the stem ; the skin yellow, with 

 much dull red on the side next the sun ; the 

 flesh is breaking and fine, with a very high musk 

 flavour ; it is best when eaten ripe from the 

 tree. The tree attains a large size before 

 bearing ; but when more advanced produces 

 an abundant crop. Ripe in September.
