3. HUYSHE’S PRINCE CONSORT. 
The Rev. John Huyshe, of Clyst-Hydon, near Exeter, raised this variety also from a seed 
from Beiirrti cTAremberg fertilized by Passe Colmar , and the tree first bore fruit in the year 1864. 
Description .—Fruit : large, oblong, but uneven and irregular in outline. Skin : grass green, 
a colour it frequently retains when ripe, but it usually becomes yellowish green. It is thickly covered 
with large russet dots, which round the stalk are so dense as to form a russet patch. Eye : rather 
small and open, set in a rather deep and uneven basin. Stalk : an inch long, stout and woody, 
inserted in a small cavity, on a line with the axis of the fruit. Flesh : yellowish, with a greenish 
tinge, melting but not buttery, being rather crisp, very juicy, sweet and vinous, with a powerful and 
peculiar flavour unlike any other pear. 
A delicious pear of first rate quality, which ripens in the end of November or the beginning 
of December. 
This tree was presented to the Horticultural Society in 1867, and distributed afterwards to 
the members. It is hardy, but rather shy in bearing.
