Got Beurre, \ Of English Catalogues, according to 



Beurre duRoi, / the Pom. JWog;. 



Fruit large, of an oblong figure, about four inches long, 

 and three inches in diameter, tapering to the stalk. Eye 

 small, with, a converging calyx, placed in a shallow depres- 

 sion. Stalk three quarters of an inch long, rather stout, and 

 thickening obliquely into the fruit. Skin greenish yellow, 

 appearing through a covering of thin russet, coloured more 

 or less with brown or red on the sunny side. Flesh white, 

 with some greenish veins through it, melting, buttery, juicy, 

 rich and excellent. 



Ripe in'October, and will keep good only a few weeks. 



This succeeds equally well on the Pear and the Quince. 



This highly esteemed and well-known Pear has had many 

 different names assigned to it, as will be seen by the syno-

 practical gardener is well aware, contribute materially, not 

 only to the colour of the Pear, but of the apple and the 

 Peach. Other names, and of these not a few, arise from 

 the locality of places where the fruit happens to be cultiva- 

 ted. The Beurre Pear in France, as well as in this country, 

 is esteemed as the best of its season.
