about two inches and a half long, and two inches and a 

 quarter in diameter. Eye very small, placed in a narrow 

 shallow basin. Stalk three quarters of an inch long, inserted 

 in a very small cavity. Skin rough, pale yellow or citron 

 colour, and tinged with red on the sunny side. Flesh yel- 

 lowish, tender, and melting. Juice sugary, with a rich 

 poignant flavour. 



In eating in December, and till February or March. 



It succeeds on both the Pear and. the Quince. 



This is a very excellent Pear on a good soil and favour- 

 able situation. It is, of course, inferior when it has not these 

 advantages.

cording to the 



Fruit pretty large, turbinate, on an average about three 

 inches and a half longj and two inches and three quarters 

 wide at the broadest part, where it is obtusely angular, and 

 a little contracted towards the setting on of the stalk. Eye 

 small. Stalk an inch long, strong, straight, inserted in an 

 oblique, angular cavity ; in some specimens it is diagonally 

 inserted under a broad, elongated lip. Skin delicate pale 

 green, very slightly dotted with russet, which becomes a 

 deeper yellow when ripe. Flesh whitish, firm, very juicy, 

 perfectly melting, without any grittiness, and of a very ex- 

 traordinary rich, sweet, high flavoured quality. 



In eating from October till February. 



It succeeds on both the Pear and the Quince. 



This most excellent Pear is supposed to have been raised 

 by M. Deschamps, and was first sent to the Horticultural 

 Society by M. Parmentier of Enghien, along with the Glout 

 Morceau, in November, 1820. It is usually cultivated as 

 a dwarf, being grafted upon the Quince stock, but it suc- 

 ceeds perfectly well as an open standard.
