=Amstettner Mostbirne. 1.= Löschnig _Mostbirnen_ 30, fig. 1913. Lower Austria; perry pear. Fruit rather large, long-pyriform, obtuse, somewhat irregular, smooth, bright green turning yellow at maturity; flesh whitish, rather granular and sometimes rather bitter; Oct. =Ananas. 1.= Christ _Handb._ 532. 1817. =2.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:122, fig. 1867. Ananas was originally introduced to Holland from France where it had been cultivated for many years under the name _De Bouchet_, a name given to it during the reign of Louis XIV, 1643-1715, by La Quintinye, Director of the Royal Gardens. Fruit medium; form rather variable, generally globular, height and breadth being equal; color bright green changing to yellowish-green at maturity, with some tinge of red on the side next the sun, strewed with brown-russet dots; flesh white, melting, somewhat gritty, juicy, sugary; first for dessert; Sept. =Ananas de Courtrai. 1.= _Ann. Pom. Belge_ =2=:13, fig, 1854. =2.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:124, fig. 1867. _Ananas de Courtray._ =3.= Mas _Pom. Gen._ =1=:79, fig. 40. 1872. The origin of this variety is unknown, but it is believed to have been a chance seedling raised at Courtrai, Flanders, as M. Six, who established himself in that town in the business of a gardener about the year 1784, found it already extensively grown there. Fruit large, pyramidal and often inclining to oval, bright yellow changing to lemon-yellow and much dotted and splashed with light-colored russet; flesh white, fine, juicy, well perfumed and with a flavor suggestive of cinnamon and musk; very good; Aug. and Sept. =Ananas d'Été. 1.= Hogg _Fruit Man._ 480. 1884. This is not the Dutch variety of Knoop but rather the type known in the British Isles as Ananas d'Éte or _King William_ Pear. Fruit above medium, obtuse-pyriform, yellowish-green with brownish tinge next the sun and covered with large, rough, brown-russet dots; flesh delicate, buttery, melting, with a pleasant, perfumed flavor; first; mid-Sept. =Andouille. 1.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:126, fig. 1867. =2.= Mas _Pom. Gen._ =6=:111, fig. 440. 1880. The origin of this variety is unknown beyond the fact that it was cultivated near Montfaucon, Maine-et-Loire, Fr., previous to 1850. At first it was known as the "_Polyforme_" owing to its very variable shape but was subsequently given its present name which is that of a twist of tobacco. Fruit medium or rather large, conic-pyriform, but often irregular and variable, sometimes much swelled below the middle, mammillate around the calyx, yellow, washed with fawn; flesh white, rather fine and buttery, gritty, melting; juice sweet and perfumed; second; late Sept. =Andrew Murray. 1.= _Guide Prat._ 80. 1895.
