Muscat Allemande

This is the real Muscat Allemande as described by the
Abbé [L'Abbé] Rozier vol. 8. page 107. No 72.  The fruit is large, of an
irregular surface, wide at the blossom end which is flat with a
very small not very deeply sunken, the stalk is long and very
strong and firm.  The skin is green with black clouds and rough.
The flesh is rich yellow buttery and of a fine sprightly flavor.
It keeps well through the winter and is altogether the finest
winter pear I have eat.  It is the same as has been call erroneously
the Winter Bon Chretien No 177 - which see -
