BEUEBE THUEELINCKX (Thuerlincks}. This is a large, 

 coarse pear, of a roundish-obovate shape, five to six 

 inches long and four or five broad. The flesh is some- 

 what tender and juicy, but without any aroma, and very 

 soon becomes mealy. Not worth growing. Hipe in 

 November and December. 



Beurre de Terwerenne. See Brown Beurre. 



Beurre Van Mons. See Baronne de Mello. 



BEUERE DE WETTEEEN. Fruit large, roundish, in- 

 clining to turbinate, widest in the middle and tapering 

 obtusely towards each end, uneven in its outline. Skin 

 bright green and shining ; dull red on the side next the 

 sun, and covered with large russet spots. Eye open, 

 deeply set. Stalk an inch long, stout, and deeply inserted. 

 Flesh yellowish, coarse-grained, and soon becomes mealy. 

 A showy and peculiar-looking pear, but of no value. 

 Ripe in October. 



BEZI DE BEETAGNE. This is very similar in appearance

 It is a very good late pear, at least as good as pears 

 generally are in March and April.

 rough, and entirely covered with brown russet. Eye 

 open, set almost even with the surface. Stalk half an 

 inch long. Flesh white, tender, buttery, sweet, and 

 aromatic.
