Grey Sugar

August 15

This is a very pleasant rich melting
and juicy pear of a rich yellowish brown
towards the Sun, and of a lively green on
the other side, spotted throughout with small
dark spots of brown.  The skin smooth, stalk
long, the size about midling.  I think it
may be called a fine pear and among the
very best of the Season. It ripens about the
middle of August.
