[sketch of pear]

This is a pear rather above the midling size, of very
irregular shape, and of a green color with a number of
indistinct spots and small russet clouds scattered over
it.  The flesh is remarkably juicy, melting and luscious very
fine and much admired with very  little yellow.  It certainly
ranks among our finest pears of the Season, September
and October.  It was imported as I am informed by the late
Mr William Clifton of Phiada [Philadelphia] from Holland. The tree
is very vigorous and very fruitful.
