PLATE XLVIII. 
w, ; 
[Syn : La JuiveP\ 
This excellent Pear was raised as a seedling by Major Esperen, of Malines, and the tree 
first bore fruit in 1843. It received its name from growing against a wall, which bounded the street 
called “ Rue des Juifs.” 
Description .—Fruit : medium sized, two and a half inches wide and three inches long ; 
pyramidal, or roundish obovate. Skin : of an uniform clear pale yellow colour, mottled with pale 
brown russet, thickly covered with small russet dots. Eye : small and open, with short erect 
segments, even with the surface. Stalk : about an inch long, stout, and tapering into the fruit, or 
obliquely inserted. Flesh : yellowish, buttery and melting, very juicy, sugary and rich. 
A very delicious Pear ; in season the end of November and during December. 
The tree makes a good pyramid on the quince stock, but it requires and deserves a warm 
soil and situation.
