555 
Fruit medium, turbinate, inclining to conic. Skin yellowish, 
sprinkled with numerous brown and red dots, with a warm 
cheek. Stalk short, rather stout, and obliquely planted with 
out depression. Calyx partially closed, basin broad and deep. 
Flesh white, juicy, melting, with a rich, aromatic flavour. Ri- 
pens October, November. 
Verte Longue of Angers. 
Fruit exceedingly elongated, pyriform, tapering from centre 
towards base and crown. Colour green. Stalk of medium 
length, stout, inserted at a great inclination. Calyx small, in a 
very small basin. Flesh green, juicy, with a good, sweet, vinous 
flavour. Ripens a little later than “ Yerte Longue” of Duhamel. 
This last, we suspect, may be synonymous with “ Green Fig.”
