Melon Pear or Melon Shrub (Solanum Guate- 
malense),“‘a very delicious fruit from the High- 
lands of Guatemala, and now being cultivated 
in California. It will likely succeed in the 
South. The fruit is of the size of a hen or 
goose egg, or even larger,and very much of the 
same shape. The color is lemon or pale orange 
with streaks or waves of bright violet, the 
whole making a fruit unrivalled in beauty. 
The interior of the fruit is a solid pulp similar 
to that of a pear, also of a pale yellow color, 
and of a taste resembling that of a fine musk- 
melon, but which has besides a most charming 
acid,so wholesome and so delicious that when 
the fruit is partaken of on a very warm day, 
it allays the thirst for several hours.”,............ 25
