This must by no means be confounded with the 

 Red Doyenne*, or Doyenn6 Gris, which is rounder, 

 and keeps better ; but is of very inferior quality. 



WOOD strong, bright chestnut colour, with brown 

 spots. 



LEAVES lanceolate, folded together, recurved, 

 with fine, regular serratures. STIPULES linear, 

 at some distance above the base of the petiole, 

 which is slender, and of a whitish colour. 



FRUIT middle-sized, roundish oblong, narrowest 

 at the stalk, which is about half an inch long, and 

 rather thick, inserted in a small cavity. EYE 

 placed in a shallow impression. SKIN pale citron 

 yellow, sprinkled throughout with cinnamon, more 

 or less, according to its situation. FLESH white, 

 juicy, very buttery and delicious.
