colour, delicately touched with fawn colour on the shade side, 

 and a fine deep red, dotted over with yellow points on the side 

 exposed to the sun ; the flesh is highly musky and quite juicy ; 

 the seeds are small, well perfected and of a brown hue, and 

 the fruit ripens in August as its name ^indicates. The tree is 

 productive, and succeeds on both quince and pear stocks. 



Miller describes his Perfumed pear differently from the fore-

Great onion pear. Mil. For. 



This pear is of a turbinate form; its height is twenty-twa 

 lines, and its diameter the same ; it is somewhat flattened at 

 the head, where the eye which is of medium size, is placed 

 within a small cavity around which the form of the fruit is very
