Holland Bergamotte

[sketch of pear]

This is the Pear called the Holland Bergamot but 
incorrectly by Prince, but agrees more nearly with the Orange
Bergamot from Wilmington, and resembles the
Bergamotte d'Automne of the Abbé [L'Abbé] Rozier p. 87.
The above is a drawing of one of the largest size.
The fruit has the appearance and color of the
Yellow Beurré. The skin is yellow, with a good
deal of a Russet and many spots of the same.  The
flesh is tender and tolerably juicy, with a pleasant
sprightly acid taste, and good flavor.
