this pear is said to ripen in February and March, but in the 

 new one it is remarked that it begins to ripen in November. 

 The tree is of vigorous growth and quite productive, and suc- 

 ceeds on both pear and quince stocks.

This pear has a turbhiate form, it is enlarged next the eye, 

 but next to the stem the size is much diminished ; its height is 

 thirtj^-two to thirty-six lines, and its diameter nearly as much 

 at the largest part ; the stem is short, being only six or seven 

 lines in length and inserted within a cavity, the edges of which 

 are generally even and regular ; the skin is green, acquiring 

 a little yellow when the fruit is ripe — it is scattered over with 

 very numerous russet specks, and in some sections these specks 

 are very contiguous to each other, and formed into large irre- 

 gular groups ; the flesh is white, melting, and of a bland and 

 very agreeable flavour. This fruit has a great aflinity to the 

 Crasanne, in form, colour, and flavour ; it ripens at the end of 

 September or in the course of October, and soon becomes 

 soft. Duhamel says it does not succeed well on dwarf 

 stocks.
