Coopers Fall Pear

[sketch of pear]

A large and vigorous growing Tree.
The fruit is very large with pretty thick skin
which grows yellow when ripe, dotted with
many small indistinct black spots. The side
next the Sun assumes a dark brownish red as
it ripens. The flesh is coarse but tolerably
juicy and well flavored. It is a valuable
pear for baking ripening from the middle
of August to the middle of September.
