PEARS. 355 



Bein Armudi, 1 Of some Collections, ac- 



Beurre blanc de Jersey, J cording to the Pom. Mag, 



Fruit pretty large, of a roundish turbinate figure, 



about three inches deep, and the same in diameter. 



Eye small, open, sunk in a round shallow basin. Stalk 



an inch long, bent, strong, and inserted in a small but 



widish cavity. Skin yellowish green, covered with grey 



russetty specks, becoming yellow when fully ripe. Flesh 



white and melting, with a rich, sugary, high-flavoured 



juice. 



Ilipe the beginning and middle of October, and will 

 keep till the end of November. 



This succeeds on both the Pear and the Quince. It 

 bears very well on a standard, but better as an espalier. 

 The fruit is generally larger than the specimen figured 

 in the Horticultural Transactions. It is a most excel- 

 lent Pear, and well deserves cultivation.
