PEARS. 



ABBE EDOUARD {Edouard's Schmalzbime). — Fruit, small, or 

 below the medium size, two inches and a quarter broad, and two and 

 a half high ; roundish and inclining to turbinate. Skin, bright green 

 at first, but as it ripens becoming a clear yellow, and of a deep golden 

 yellow on the side next the sun, and strewed with brown dots. Eye, 

 small and closed, set in a shallow depression. Stalk, thin and woody, 

 an inch long, and obliquely inserted on the apex of the fruit, with a 

 fleshy swelling at its base. Flesh, white, half buttery, melting and 

 very juicy, sweet, and with a finely perfumed flavour. 



A good pear, but not possessing any particular merit to recommend 

 it as an addition to existing varieties. It ripens in November, and is 

 very soon gone. 



The tree is of an upright habit of growth, and forms a good pyramid. 

 It succeeds well on the quince, and is an excellent bearer. 



This is seedling No. 2015 of Van Mons, and first bore fruit in 1848.
