Iiamel states this pear to be sometimes called Cailleau Rosal, 

 is derived from a rather forced construction, for having that 

 work now before me, I can find no such synonyme or remark 

 mentioned. He however states, that it is sometimes called 

 Caillot rosatf a title which if I mistake n6t, claims a different 

 derivation and application from that allotted to the appellation 

 misquoted. The Caillot-rosat, Rosie pebble, Rosewater, or 

 Pera del Campo, is distinguished from the Poire de Rose as 

 far back as the time of Quintinye and Evelyn, and mention 

 ^ made by both those authors ; but it is not described separately 

 either by Rozier or in the New Duhamel, which would seem to 

 indicate some doubt as to their being distinct varieties.

This pear is almost globular, having a little more breadth 

 than height ; the former measuring from twenty-six to twenty- 

 eight lines, and the latter about two inches. The stem is large, 

 and but six or seven lines in length. The skin is whitish, 

 touched over with greenish points on the shade side, and of a 

 beautiful coral colour next the sun, and frequently over two 

 thirds of the surface. The flesh is half-breaking and of a sweet, 

 rich and very pleasant flavour. The fruit ripens the latter 

 part of August, and soon becomes soft,

This fruit varies but little in form from the preceding one, 

 but is rather smaller, and its skin, which is a pale whitish 

 yellow on the shade side, is only washed with a very light red 

 next the sun. The flesh is breaking, and of a very agreeable 

 musky flavour. It ripens in the course of the month of August. 

 Miller describes this variety under two distinct heads, (see Mil.
