Skinless, or Poire sans Peau

July 26. 1808

This is a pear about the size of the early Catherine.
Yellow skin with a very little of a blush, scarcely perceptible
towards the Sun. The skin is very smooth and
thin, the stalk thin and long. The flesh is juicy and
breaking rather than melting, of a pleasant sweet
taste.  The tree grows somthing like the Catherine.
In eating the latter end of July, and by many persons
much admired.  see Vigne Pear No 236 E XXV pa 536
