 Complet tf Agriculture, Vol. XH. p. 124. 



The fruit, is very much lengthened, knobby ; of a uni- 

 form red color; its flesh is melting, sugary, agreeable, so 

 far as I could judge from the fruits sent me by Van Mons, 

 It ripens the beginning of October, and grows soft soon 

 after. Base. 

 213. CESILE. Ronald. 



A new fruit, just coming into high repute about London. 

 Its origin unknown. The fruit is large, roundish, even 

 and regular in form, but much flattened at the crown ; its 

 breadth exceeding its height ; red next the sun, somewhat 

 russetted in the shade ; beurree and excellent. In color, 

 size, and form, it perfectly resembles Gansel's Bergamot. 

 The tree is hardy, its productiveness, which exceeds the 

 Hessel, being unsurpassed. October its season here. 



69. *CALEBASSE VASSE. 



Large, and calabash-formed; oblong, and nearly allied 

 to the Beurre Bosc and Paradise d'Autornne, and, like 

 them, covered with yellow russet ; melting arid delicious. 

 A prodigious bearer. A fine new fruit, which I received 

 from Mr. Ronalds. October. 

 L 70. *CAPIAUMONT. 



BEURRE DE CAPIAUMONT. Pom. Mag. 



The young wood is brownish red; leaves folded and 

 recurved, and changing to red in autumn ; the fruit of 

 medium size, tapering pyramidally to the stalk, rounded 

 at the crown ; the eye level with the extremity ; stalk half 

 an inch long, inserted on the summit ; of a fine, clear 

 cinnamon color, changing to yellow in the shade, rich 

 bright red next the sun ; flesh yellowish, melting, beurree, 

 very rich, and highly-flavored. It ripens in October, and 

 grows equally well on the pear and the quince. The tree 

 bears astonishing crops, and is one of the most valuable 

 and profitable of all pears. Originated by M. Capiaumont, 

 of Mons. This is not the fruit so long known and mis- 

 called near Boston as the Capiaumont, that being the 

 Frederic de Wurtemberg.

A large pear, of a globular form, inclining to turbinate; 

 of an orange russet color ; melting, buttery, sweet, and 

 rich-flavored. September and October. Highly esteemed
