pretty much covered, sometimes with round, sometimes with 

 longish russet spots pretty close to one another, and here 

 and there a few larger spots or sometimes streaks of the very 

 same russety colour, and receives little or no tincture from 

 the skin ; but in length of time it comes to be of a bright 

 shining yellow colour. The skin grows wrinkled at last, and 

 smells a little, but never yields to the thumb, though squeezed 

 ever so hard, as long as it is sound within : there doth remain 

 even to the last some spots of a fading pale green perceivable. 

 The Pulp is clear white, of the breaking kind, but eats a little 

 tough and gritty, sparingly furnished with juice of a quick 

 pert taste, not dead or flat in its flavour, and a little sweet in 

 the mouth. The Core lieth rather nearer the eye than the 

 stalk, is short but round in shape, of a moderate or rather 

 small size, a little gritty and stony : its cells tolerably well 

 furnished with kernels, from 5 to 8, of a black colour, round- 

 ish at top, flat on one side of the body, a little rounder on the 

 other, somewhat broad and pretty plump, growing taper at 

 the end . The chief use of this Pear is for baking and stewing, 

 in which it excels the Cardillac. It colours better in the 

 stewing, and then it is a longer laster ; its pulp is rather too 

 coarse and dry to eat raw, but it is a great increaser and 

 worthy of reception, for its other good qualities.
