 Holland Bigarreau ? 

 Clarke's Superb. 



The Napoleon Bigarreau is large, well-flavored, handsome, and pro- 

 ductive. 



Fruit of the largest size, very regularly heart-shaped, a little inclining 

 to oblong. Skin pale yellow, becoming amber in the shade, richly dotted 

 and spotted with very deep red, and with a fine marbled dark crimson 

 cheek. Flesh very firm (too much so), juicy, with an excellent flavor. 

 Stalk very stout, short, and set in a narrow cavity. Ripens a few days 

 after the Bigarreau, about the first of July, and is a good and constant 

 bearer. Good. The fruit is not so obtuse as the Bigarreau. 



Holland Bigarreau is so much like the above that we think it 

 identical.
