21. URBANISTE. 

 I ig. 246. 



Tree upright, healthful, and moderately vigorous. 



Young shoots grayish-yellow. Not an early, but a good 

 bearer, and suiting well in rich soils. 



Fruit medium obovate, inclining to pyramidal ; light yellow, 

 with gray dots and some russet. 



Flesh white or yellowish, buttery, melting, and very juicy. 



Flavor rich, perfumed, vinous, or sweet. Ripens in the house 

 through October and November. 



The Urbaniste resembles the Virgalieu in quality, and some- 

 what also in appearance, though, in general, rather smaller. It 

 is of fine healthful growth, and, once in bearing, continues to 

 yield its fruit regularly and abundantly.
