Julienne. 



A handsome summer Pear. It is a productive fruit, and comes into 

 bearing very early. It is often of excellent flavor, and of the first qua- 

 lity ; but, unfortunately, it is variable in these respects, and some seasons 

 it is comparatively tasteless and insipid. In the Southern States, and in 

 rich, warm, and dry soils at the North, it is almost always fine. The 

 tree is of thrifty, upright growth, with light yellowish-brown shoots. 



Fruit of small size, but varying in different soils ; obovate, regularly 

 formed, clear bright yellow on all sides. Stalk light brown, speckled 

 with yellow, a little more than an inch long, pretty stout, inserted in a 

 very shallow depression. Calyx open, set in a basin slightly sunk, but 

 often a little plaited. Flesh white, rather firm at first, half buttery, 

 sweet, and moderately juicy. Ripens all the month of August.

 little gritty, melting, sweet. October. (Lind.)

 furrowed. Flesh greenish yellow, melting, sweet, buttery, vinous, 

 slightly aromatic. October to February. (Hort.)
