ROSTIEZEE. 



A small unattractive looking pear, of very high quality. It is the best of its season in 

 quality for dessert purposes, and should have a place in the home garden. What the Seckel is 

 in October, this pear is in August. The pear sells far below its value on account of its ordinary 

 appearance.
