A very old and excellent Pear, which has so 

 long been a favourite with cultivators, especially 

 in France and Germany, that its names have 

 become in themselves a catalogue. It is a great 

 and certain bearer, ripening from the end of Sep- 

 tember till the third week in October ; of first- 

 rate quality as a juicy, melting sort. It is one 

 of the very best to graft upon the Quince, and 

 to cultivate en quenouille. It is almost to be doubted 

 whether Miller really knew it, although he quotes 

 it ; since he calls it an indifferent fruit, which he 

 would have scarcely done had he been acquainted 

 with the true kind. During the time when it is 

 in season, it yields to none in excellence.
