The French Gardeners have a class of Pears
which they call Callleaux, in consequence of the
resemblance their speckled appearance gives them
to the milU, or quail. To this class belongs the
subject of the present article, which is even, as Du-
hamel informs us, sometimes called the Cailleaii
Rosat,— name, however, which belongs of right to
another variety, ripening in the end of September.
There is no doubt about the synonyms above
quoted; but it is necessary to remark, that this
is not the Epine Rose, or Rosendorne of Mayer’s
Pomona Franconica, t. 22, which, as Mr. Thompson
has justly pointed out, is a long fruit, although that
writer quotes Duhamel’s synonym without scruple.
We have not adopted the name of Onion-shaped
Pear, which would have been a more expressive
name, because the French apply that term both to
Pears having the peculiar flattened figure of this,
and to others which grow in such clusters upon the
branches that the latter resemble a string of onions.
