Vine Pear

1808
Aug. 15

A midling sized Pear, when ripe it is of greenish
yellow color with small black spots or points.  The
flesh is sprightly and tolerably juicy with a small
portion of astringency.  It is produced at an
early age and is a good bearer.  The stalk remarkably 
long and thin.  (from D. Landreth) Ripens about
the middle of August.
