rather uneven depression. Stalk one inch and a half long, 

 curved, slightly inserted in a narrow cavity. Skin pale yel- 

 low, mixed with green, a little russetty on the sunny side, 

 and slightly tinged with a few faint streaks of pale brown. 

 Flesh white, a little gritty, but soft and mellow, with a sac- 

 charine, rich, and perfumed juice. 



Ripe the end of September, and is good for two or three 

 weeks. 



It succeeds well on both the Pear and the Quince. 



This very valuable variety was introduced by the Horti- 

 cultural Society in 1826, to whom it was sent by Messrs. 

 Baumann of Boll wilier. It has been cultivated here under 

 the erroneous names of Charles d'Autriche and Belle de 

 Bruxelles, both of which are different fruits from this.
