This pear is twenty-eight lines in height, and tv.'enty-seven 

 in diameter. Its form is turbinate next the stem, ^hich is from 

 six to twelve lines in length, and inserted in a very small cavity, 

 and sometimes in the centre of a flat space. The skin is smooth, 

 striped with ureen and yellow, and on the sunnv side acquires 

 a sl'mht tint of red, which is much more apparent upon the 

 vellow stripes than on the uTeen ones. The flesh is melting, 

 sweet, and replete with juice, especiallv when the fruit is not 

 ripened on the tree. The seeds are linht brown, well matured, 

 and terminate b\ a lonu point, and the Iruit ripens in October. 

 The tree succeeds equally well, grafted either on the pear or 

 the quince. It is quite productive, but not partial to a very 

 hot situation.
