 as to appear almost triangular in profile, diminishing 

 suddenly at the crown, with a very long stem ; the 

 skin is rough and green, with black clouds and some 

 russet, the flesh is yellow, rich, buttery, and of a 

 sprightly flavor. It ranks among the most estimable 

 pears imported from France. The tree is vigorous, 

 of large growth, and very fruitful. There is a pecu- 

 liarity in this pear worthy of notice, the eye is very 

 small, frequently naked, entirely without the flower 

 leaf. 



It is requested by the Committee, that fruits may 

 still be sent to the Hall as they ripen.
