The shape of this pear is pretty nearly pyriform, being' 

 thirty lines in height and twenty-two in it? greatest diameter, 

 and it is supported bv a peduncle which is often near two 

 inches in length ; some portion of the skin is yellow, but that 

 colour is but partially apparent, as three-fourths and often 

 nearly the whole surface is covered with large spots of russet, 

 which by being nearly connected with each other, give the whole 

 fruit the appearance of being of that colour ; the flesh is melt- 

 ing, of a sweet and very musky flavour, which has a very 

 great affinity to that of the Uousselet ; the seeds are brown 

 and generally pretty perfect, and the fruit ripens in the month 

 of November.

 and brilliant colouring ; it i- three inrhe* and a half in height, 

 and a little less than three inches in diameter ; the skin at ma-

 next the sun, besides being marked over the whole surface with 

 a great number of small round dots, which become 1 brown 

 upon the yellow part, and ^ray upon the red ; the llesh is half- 

 breaking, considerably melting, sweet, and agreeable ; tin- 

 most of the seed- are abortive, those which are perfect arc 

 -hort, well matured, and brown, particularly ;it the apex. ThU 

 fruit keeps until March, and i- a- vei bin M Idom to be met
