Julienne (Summer Beurré)
Archiduc de l'Eté

The color of this pear when fully ripe is a bright
yellow, sometimes it has a blush towards the
sun; the size is midling, frequently small.
the shape is round but much larger towards
the blossom end than towards the stalk which
is short and delicate, the flesh is sprightly, rich
and juicy when gathered before fully ripe, and
matured in the house; it is really a fine fruit
and worthy of the name I have given to it "The
Summer Beurrée".  It is a very fruitful tree,
& produces fruit oat an early age.

The tree is of singular growth.  The branches
growing very scattering, long dangling and
curved, with large swellings or lumps at the
extremities, the wood of a lively yellowish
brown color.  It continues for several weeks in
high perfection, and is among the finest of our
Summer Pears.
