(<s>illegible</s>) Winter Russelet

[sketch of pear]

The fruit is small and of a pyramidal form,
the Eye is even with the surface.  The skin is of a lively
yellow mixed with Russet. The flesh is half breaking
tolerably juicy and sprightly in its taste. In Season
from January to March. I think is a pear of very
inferior quality, too small for baking and not pleasant
at any time for the table.
