Doyenne du Comice Pear. — This is one of the newer French pears, andis one of first-class excellence ; coming into use in the months of October andNovember. The fruit is large and obovate, with a smooth skin, and, when ripe,of a yellowish-green color, with here and there irregular patches of russet onthe sunny side, which is also frequently flushed with red. The eye is small,and set in an even basin; and the stalk is short and thick, inserted flesh is white, very juicy, fine-grained, and perfectly melting, with a deli-. cious and peculiar aroma. It is, doubtless, one of the finest pears of its season,and is eminently deserving of extensive cultivation.
