Originated in France, near Avranches, succeeds admirably on the 

 quince, forming a fine pyramid — not of the first quality, but profit- 

 able. Tree vigorous, upright, very productive. Fruit of better quality 

 on the quince than on the pear. Young wood dull olive brown. 



Louise Bonne of Jersey. 



Fruit large, oblong pyriform, a little one-sided, glossy, pale green in 

 the shade, but overspread with brownish red in the sun, and dotted with 

 numerous gray dots. Stalk about an inch long, curved, rather obliquely 

 inserted, without depression, or with a fleshy, enlarged base. Calyx 

 open, in a shallow, uneven basin. Flesh greenish white, very juicy and 

 melting, with a rich and excellent flavor. Good to very good. Sep- 

 tember and October.
