454 THE FBUIT MANUAL. 



large crimson dots like ForeUe and Louise Bonne of Jersey ; where 

 shaded the dots are cinnamon-coloured, and there is a patch of cinnamon 

 russet round the stalk. Eye, very large and open, with large leaf-like 

 segments set in a shallow depression. Stalk, three-quarters of an 

 inch long, thick and fleshy. Flesh, rather firm, not very juicy, sweet, 

 and agreeably flavoured. 



Ripe in the second week of September, when it soon becomes mealy 

 and rots at the core. 



GENERAL TODTLEBEN.— Fruit, very large, four inches and a 

 half long and nearly four wide ; pyriform, ribbed round the apex. 

 Skin, yellow, covered with dots and patches of brown russet. Eye, 

 open, set in a wide furrowed basin. Stalk, an inch long, set in a smaU 

 narrow cavity. Flesh, with a rosy tinge, very melting and juicy, 

 slightly gritty, with a rich, sugary, and perfumed juice. 



A very excellent pear ; in use from December to February. The 

 tree is moderately vigorous, and bears abundantly. 



It was raised from seed sown in 1839, and the tree first produced fruit in 1855, 

 when M. Fontaine, of Gheling in Belgium, named it in honour of General Todtleben, 

 the gallant defender of Sebastopol — with whom it was my privilege to travel for 

 two days during a visit I paid to Russia in 1869.

 with thin brown russet, so much so as to leave scarcely any of the

 Stalk, an inch long, deeply inserted in a two-lipped cavity. Flesh, firm, 

 crisp, sweet, and juicy. 



An excellent stewing pear, in use from November to February. The 

 tree is hardy, an excellent bearer, and succeeds well as a standard.
