Marie Louise

Fruit large, regular-pyriform; eye small and open, in a deep basin; skin greenish-yellow, with brown-russet; flesh white, buttery, and most richly flavoured. October and November. One of the most delicious Pears in cultivation. On a wall, the fruit attains a large size, and is invariably of good flavour.

Marie Louise d'Uccle. Fruit medium size, obovate; eye large and open, in a pretty deep basin; skin greenish-yellow, with brown-russet; flesh melting, very juicy, buttery, with a fine aroma. October. A good Pear, though not to be compared with MARIE LOUISE.
