Fruit pretty large, roundish oblong, narrowest at the 

 stalk, about three inches and a half long, and two inches 

 and three quarters in diameter. Eye very small, with 

 small, acute, closed segments of the calyx, placed in a 

 shallow depression. Stalk three quarters of an inch 

 long, rather thick, inserted in a small cavity ; in some 

 specimens it is diagonally inserted under a small elong- 

 ated lip. Skin pale citron yellow, speckled throughout, 

 more or less, with cinnamon russet, and tinged with 

 orange brown on the sunny side. Flesh white, juicy, 

 very buttery, and delicious. 



Ripe the end of September, and good for three or 

 four weeks. 



This succeeds on both the Pear and the Quince. 



An old and excellent Pear, bearing well in this 

 country upon an open standard. It is one of the best 

 to graft upon the Quince, and to cultivate en quenouille. 

 It is best known in our gardens, and to English nursery- 

 men, by the name of White Beurre.
