Chaumontel
Fruit rather large, short-pyriform; eye open, in a deep basin; skin rough, greenish-yellow, flushed; flesh buttery, melting, and richly flavoured, if grown in rich and warm soil. January. This sort is much grown in Jersey and Guernsey, where it succeeds perhaps better than anywhere else. Citron des Carmes. Fruit medium, obovate; eye small, closed; skin green at first, changing to pale yellow, flushed with russet; flesh white, juicy, very melting, and sweet. July and August. One of the very best early sorts.
