Bell Pear (Princes

No 7

1809
July 20
to 30th

This is a small pear, ripens in the middle of  July, of 
a very yellow color, dry flesh and little merit.
It resembles Robinsons Early, the Candied Lemon &
several other small early pears which have little merit
or beauty.  It is a great bearer, the growth is
vigorous and the tree hardy.  If gatherered before it
is too ripe it like all early pears is much improved and is 
much more juicy
