Brown Beurré or Beurreé grise

[sketch of pear]

This is a very large juicy Pear of a very sprightly
taste, the flesh is white and by some thought too
acid. The skin is a green russet without any red.
The shape is very irregular but generally resembles that
of the yellow Beurré, but from the difference of the skin it
has <s>illegible</s> in no other respect the same 
appearance. It generally ripens in September and
lasts for several weeks.  It is a very great bearer
and its excellence varies much with the Season.
