Red Bergamotte

[sketch of pear]

This is a large size for a Bergamotte, very
flat, with a long stalk, the flesh is coarse and
tender, of a pleasant sprightly taste, the skin yellow
and when ripe the cheek next the Sun a deep and
lively red.  The trees are not fruitful until they
attain a large size, the first ripens about
the beginning of August ( The red cheek is dotted
with small russet spots.)
