Beurre' Goubault. — (This must not be confounded with 

 Doyenne Goubault.) — Fruit middle-sized, almost round; skin 

 pale green, passing to a yellowish green, sprinkled with brown 

 dots. Stalk slender, about half an inch in length. Eye large, 

 open, slightly sunk. Flesh fine, half melting, and buttery, per- 

 fumed, gritty near the core. Season, beginning of September. 



Beurre' Gris d' Hiver Nouveau. — (Bavay.) — Syn. Beurre 

 Gris Superieur, Beurre de Lucon, Beurre Gris d' Hiver, of Bi- 

 vort, St. Michael d' Hiver. — Fruit very large, oval, flat at the 

 ends. Stalk short, about four-tenths of an inch in length, thick ; 

 eye small, slightly sunk in a small, regularly formed hollow ; 

 skin shining, greenish-yellow, tinged with red next the sun. 

 Flesh white, firm, juicy, and of a very agreeable flavor ; it is 

 sometimes a little gritty, when the tree is planted in a strong 

 soil. Season, December and January. The tree is vigorous 

 and extremely fertile. We think this variety ought to be 

 classed among the Doyennes, rather than among the Beurres. 



Beurre' Lefe'vre. — Syn. Beurre de Mortefontaine. — Fruit 

 very large ; color, a mixture of brown, green, and red ; but 

 its quality does not correspond with its beauty, and it soon 

 becomes mealy. It ripens in October. 



Beurre' Moiret. — Syn. Beurre Moire. — Fruit large, pyra- 

 midal, yellowish-green, a little tinged with red, next the sun, 

 and sprinkled with brown dots. Stalk about an inch in 

 length, of medium thickness. Eye slightly sunk. We have 

 not had an opportunity of examining its flesh, but we have 

 been assured, that it is of first-rate quality. Ripens in the 

 end of September. The tree is vigorous and fertile.

 buttery, and of first-rate quality, ripening in the end of Oc- 

 tober.
