Jargonelle

The Jargonelle so called by Mr Prince from 
whom I obtained it is the same as the Sugar
Pear No 29, another Bon Chretien d'Eté [musquiel]
L'Abbé Rozier No 91. Vol 8 pp. 112.119. It ripens
about the latter part of August. It is a superior
pear to the real Jargonelle which about the
same time & is a smaller pear, and has a red cheek
next the Sun, whereas this pear is without red,
except very early it has a very slight blush in dry
weather and exposed situations.
