[sketch of pear]

This is a round Pear of midling size, flat at the blossom 
end, growing smaller towards the Stalk, at which end it is also
flat. The stalk is very long and slender.  The skin is yellow
full of black spots with some dull black clouds.. The flesh
is white and not very juicy, the tast pleasant but not
high flavored.  It is very inferior to the real Crasane No 53.
The Tree is remarkably subject to the blight.  It may
however be called a pretty good pear in the latter part 
of November, till which time it will keep.
