PEARS. 385 



minently seated on the convex summit. Stalk an inch 

 long, straight, inserted without any cavity. Skin green, 

 which continues till its maturity. Flesh white, melting, 

 and very full of a saccharine, well-flavoured juice. 



Ripe the middle of October, and will keep a few 

 weeks only. 



This succeeds on both the Pear and the Quince ; but 

 it is best on the Pear on dry, hot soils.

This in no way differs from the preceding one, except 

 in being rather less, and in its striped fruit, which is beau- 

 tifully coloured with green, yellow, and red. It ripens 

 also at the same time, and succeeds on both the Pear 

 and the Quince ; but, like the former, it is best on the 

 Pear for dry soils.
