Orange Bergamotte

[sketch of pear]

The size of this Pear is rather large, flat at the
blossom end and produced to a point towards the
stalk which is not very long, but very strong.  The skin is
of a remarkably bright yellow covered almost entirely
with a strong reddish russet particularly on the side
next the Sun.  The flesh is very coarse and considerably
acid. It is more proper for baking than eating.
It ripens in September. The above is a description of an Orange
Pear on an apple Stock - I am informed they are very superior
on Pear Stocks.
