9. ORANGE MUSQUÉE. Miller, No. 9. Duhamel, No. 25. t. 10. Fruit middle sized, round, shaped somewhat like an orange, about two inches deep, and two inches and a quarter in diameter.

Skin deeply reticulated like the orange, of a green colour, changing to yellow as it becomes ripe, and marbled with bright red on the sunny side. Flesh rich, with an agreeable musky juice.

Fruit middle-sized, nearly globular, about two inches in diameter. Eye small, open, in a regular round shallow basin.

Fruit below the middle size, round, depressed, about two inches deep, and two inches and a quarter in diameter. Eye open, placed in a shallow depression. Stalk an inch long, slender, inserted in a small roundish cavity. Skin inclining to yellow, speckled with russet; but of a bright rich red, intermingled with brown spots on the sunny side. Flesh white, juicy, rich, and sugary. Ripe the middle and end of August. This succeeds equally well on the Pear and the Quince. The figure of the Summer Rose is that of an Apple rather than that of a Pear; and M. Noisette remarks, that it is so in a greater degree than any Pear he knows. It is a most excellent and beautiful variety, and bears well on an open standard. SECT. II. Summer. Conical-fruited. -- 15. AUGUST MUSCAT. Miller, No. 20. Aurate. Duhamel, No. 5. t. 2. Muscat d'Août.
