Its form is like that of many Ameri can apples, round and somewhat flattened at both ends. It is not pyriform, or pear shaped, os we utoderstaod the word, at all. They are large, about throe 'inches in diameter, with thick, rough skint of a ruwet or brouse yellow col or. The akin it also covered with lit-. tie gray spots. The varieties do not differ much either in sire, shape, color or flavor, whereat the American vari- epea differ enormously in all these re- specta. The flesh is rather course, of a light yellow color, very mrejrbut flnu ana not mellow, and kekt on tiraly the aroma and flavor of the American pear.
