 tle longer, and is considered by many rather the finer of the two. 

 Shoots upright, grayish brown. 



Fruit of medium size, ovate obovate, but usually a little rounder than 

 the White Doyenne. Skin wholly covered with smooth cinnamon rus- 

 set (rarely a little ruddy next the sun). Stalk half to three-fourths of 

 an inch long, curved, set in a narrow, rather deep and abrupt cavity. 

 Calyx small, closed, and placed in a smooth, shallow basin. Flesh 

 white, fine-grained, very buttery, melting, rich, and delicious. Best.
