[sketch of pear]

A large showy Pear, a yellow skin with clouds of
black and bright red cheek next the Sun.  The
flesh is juicy, but coarse, and well flavored. It is a
good pear - but comes at a Season when pears of a very
superior quality abound. It ripens from the 20th Augt [August]
to the middle of September. The form is round a little
irregular, and flatter at the blossom end - the stalk long
and pretty thick.
