Poire Sans Peau. 0. Dvh. Plenr de Guignes. 
The Skinless is a very nice little pear, with a remarkably 
thin, smooth skin, and a delicate, perfumed flavour. It bears in 
clusters, and very regularly. It is not first rate, but is esteemed 
by many. 
Fruit below medium size, long pyriform. Skin very smooth 
and thin, pale green, becoming light yellow, speckled with light 
red in the sun. Stalk long, slender, curved, inserted in a very 
trifling cavity. Calyx closed, set in a small basin. Flesh white, 
juicy, half melting, with a sweet and slightly perfumed flavour. 
Middle of August.
