Shinns large Pear

September 7
1810

This is a very large and handsome pear
raised by Aquilla Shinn of Mt Holly - Yellow
green skin with a rich blush next to the
Sun. Flesh coarse, but juicy and pleasant
& very melting.  It is a good pear but coming
at a Season abounding with fine pears it
is not so valuable.

Same as Harrisons
large Fall No 45
and Princes Swans Egg
No 78
