Beurre d' Angleterre. Duhamel, No.. 76. t 39. 



Fruit middle-sized, of an oval pyramidal figure, very re- 

 gularly formed at the crown, and tapering to the stalk ; about 

 two inches and three quarters long, and two inches in diame- 

 ter. Eye small, with a short connivent calyx, very little de- 

 pressed. Stalk one inch and a quarter long, slender, in- 

 setted without any cavity. Skin smooth, of a greenish gray, 

 a little tinged with red on the sunny side. Flesh white, 

 very buttery, and replete with a sugary and very agreeable 

 juice. 



Ripe the end of September and beginning of October. 



This succeeds only on the Pear, not on the Quince. 



It is clearly distinct from the Brown Beurre, as it does 

 not succeed when grafted upon the Quince ; the other suc- 

 ceeds well on both.
