Saint Lezin.

The Saint Lezin resembles a very large Brown Beurre in 

 form and colour, but its skin is more spotted. The flesh is 

 yellow, crisp, with a remarkably high flavour, but very astrin- 

 gent. The Pear described by Poiteau under this name is 

 certainly different from this. 



VlRGOULEUSE.

TINYE, tom. l.p. 101. 



So named from Virgoule, a village near the town of St. 

 Leonard. This is a Pear of the middle size, very handsome 

 in its form, and colour; it tapers gradually towards the 

 stalk, and when ripe, the skin is a fine delicate yellow. 

 Although it bears abundantly as a standard, it never attains 

 to the perfection in this country which it acquires in France.
