Beurre Cambron. See OlouMorgeau. 



BEURRE DE CAPIAUMONT {Aurore; Beurr^ Aurore ; Capiau- 

 mont ; Calebasse Vasse). — Fruit, medium sized; obtuse pyriform. Skin, 

 pale yellow in the shade, almost entirely covered with fine cinnamon- 

 coloured russet, strewed with numerous grey specks and with reddish 

 orange shining out through the russet on the side next the sun. Eye, 

 large and open, with short, erect, stiff segments, set almost even with 

 the surface. Stalk, an inch long, fleshy at the base, and inserted at 

 the extremity without depression. Flesh, pure white, delicate and 

 fine, buttery and melting, with a rich, vinous, and sugary flavour. 



A dessert pear of good quality ; ripe in October. The tree is hardy, 

 vigorous, and an abundant bearer, and succeeds well as a standard on 

 the quince. It is well adapted for the 'northern parts of our island, 

 where I have seen it bearing abundantly as a standard. 



It was raiaed from seed by M. Capiaumont, a druggist of Mons, in 1787, and it 

 appears as No. 315 in Van Mons' catalogne, "Capiaumont: par son patron." 



BEURRE DU CERCLE (Beurre du CercU Pratique de Rouen).— 

 Fruit, rather below medium size, two inches wide and two inches and 

 three-quarters long ; pyramidal, much larger on one side of the axis 

 than the other. Skin, lemon-coloured, much covered with brown 

 russet, which is strewed with grey dots, and sometimes with blush of 

 red on the side next the sun. Eye, half open, set in a shallow basin. 

 Flesh, gritty, juicy, and brisk, with a sweet and rather rich flavour. 



A good pear; ripe in October. The tree bears remarkably well, 

 and makes handsome pyramids on the quince. 



It was raised by M. Boisbunel, of Rouen, in 1845, and the tree first fruited in 

 1856.

 depression. Stalk, an inch long, curved, inserted by the side of a 

 fleshy lip. Flesh, tender, juicy, melting, and perfumed.
