PEARS. 337 



9. ORANGE MUSQUEE. Miller, No. 9. Duhamel, 

 No. 25. t. 10. 



Fruit middle sized, round, shaped somewhat like an 

 orange, about two inches deep, and two inches and a 

 quarter in diameter. Eye very small, flat on the sum- 

 mit. Stalk an inch long, obliquely inserted. Skin 

 deeply reticulated like the orange, of a green colour, 

 changing to yellow as it becomes ripe, and marbled with 

 bright red on the sunny side. Flesh rich, with an 

 agreeable musky juice. 



Ripe the middle and end of August. 



This succeeds on both the quince and pear stock. 



10. ROBIXE. Duhamel, No. 56. t. 27. 

 Royale d'E'te. Ib. 



Fruit rather small, roundish turbinate, in the man- 

 ner of the Musk Robine, about one inch and three 

 quarters deep, and the same in diameter. Eye small, 

 with a closed calyx, placed in a somewhat shallow plaited 

 basin. Stalk half an inch long, thick, inserted with- 

 out any cavity. Skin pale greenish yellow, marbled 

 with a deeper green, becoming yellow as it ripens. 

 Flesh white, half breaking, with a saccharine musky 

 juice. 



Ripe the middle and end of August. 



This may be grafted on both the pear stock and 

 quince ; on the latter it grows stronger, and bears more 

 abundantly. 



11. SALVIATI. Miller, No. 25. Duhamel, No. 21. 

 t. 9. 



Fruit middle-sized, nearly globular, about two inches 

 in diameter. Eye small, open, in a regular round 

 shallow basin. Stalk one inch and a half long, 

 slender, inserted in a rather narrow shallow cavity. 

 Skin of a yellow wax-like colour, marbled with red on 

 the sunny side. Flesh tender, containing a rich sugary 

 juice.
