This pear was raised by Abbe Deschamps, of the Hospice des Orphelins, at Enghien, and 
hence derived its original names. Dr. Van Mons gave it the name of Beurri dAremberg, which it 
still bears. About the same time the Glou Morceau was sent out by M. Noisette, of Paris, from 
the gardens of the Due d’Aremberg, under the name of Beurri dAremberg, and thus two very 
distinct varieties passed under the same name. The characters of the two are however perfectly 
distinct, and may easily be distinguished by the stalk alone; that of Beurri dAremberg being short, 
thick, and fleshy; whilst that of Glou Morceau is long, straight, and woody, and inserted 
perpendicularly with the axis of the fruit. The confusion however has passed away in England. 
This pear is figured in the Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London, Vol. VII., 
Plate 4 ; and by Lindley, Plate 83.
