This pear is very beautiful, and measures four inches in 

 height, and three inches at its greatest diameter, which is nearly 

 at the middle of its height, as the two extremities diminish 

 very perceptibly, especially that next the stern, which is in- 

 serted somewhat obliquely in a pretty deep cavity, surrounded 

 by protuberances ; the eye is likewise placed in a depression, 

 whose border is rendered uneven by projection- in general 

 the circumference of the fruit is not perfectly round; the skin 

 is a very light urecn, faintly approaching yellow at full matu- 

 rity, and interspersed by some small russet specks ; the llcsh 

 is somewhat firm, bland, and agreeable, without being very 

 high llavoured, and the fruit ripens in November and De- 

 cember. 



ft is remarked in the New Duhamel, that this pear is of late 

 origin, and not having been previously named by any cultiva- 

 tor, the editors dedicated it to M. Uessa as a testimony of satis- 

 faction for the assiduity evinced by him in the completion of 

 the desi.iz'iis of that work.
