 and Soldat Laboureur, from both of which it is distinct. The wood ia 

 strong, long-jointed, yellowish brown, dotted with pale gray specks ; leaves, 

 narrow, deeply serrated ; trees, very hardy, bear young on the pear root, 

 annually and abundantly ; the fruit hangs well, and may be gathered and 

 ripened at will from December to February. A warm, rich soil suits it 

 best. 



Fruit, above medium, obovate, obtuse pyriform, tapering toward the 

 stem, where it often terminates in a flesljy junction : color, dull pale green, 

 at maturity light yellow, clouded with green, with traces and patches of 

 light cinnamon russet; stem, short, stout, uneven, set obliquely, without 

 depression ; calyx, small, closed, segments short ; basin, rather deep ; core, 

 medium } seeds, light brown, acutely pointed ; flesh, white, juicy, melting, 

 vinous December to February.
