 REINETTE POIRE of the catalogues. 



Both an autumnal and winter fruit; presents a capital 

 yellow apple, of a tender, yellowish pulp, the juice of which 

 has the acidulous flavor of Rhenish wine. It is sufficiently 

 mellow in the beginning of November, and may be pre- 

 served through the greater part of winter. The tree is of 

 slender growth.

A new fruit, of medium size and ovate form, very val- 

 uable and productive. Thus it is described to me by 

 Mons. Vilmorin, of Paris ; highly deserving trial with us.

 This apple is equal in goodness to the Reinette Tranche, 

 but is nearly gone when that variety begins to be fit for

 reddish next the sun ; flesh juicy, saccharine, vinous, high- 

 flavored, a little acid. December to March.

 Compl. Vol. xn. p. 215. 



Fruit large, round, irregularly formed, and very much 

 pointed with brown; sometimes slightly red next the sun ; 

 the flesh is firm, yellowish white, saccharine, agreeable. 

 It is, notwithstanding the excellence of the Reinette Grise 

 and the Reinette du Canada, the best of all ; but it varies 

 much in goodness, in size, and duration, according to the 

 soils, expositions, seasons, &c.
