Fruit medium, light green to citron-yellow without any red blush but
rust-colored on the cheek next the sun, densely spotted with fine brown
dots, without perfume; flesh granular, melting, acidulous, sweet, with
cinnamon savor; second for dessert, first for kitchen use; late Oct.

_Arkansas Mammoth._ =2.= _Mo. Hort. Soc. Rpt._ 37. 1896.
It has been suggested that this may be the _Uvedale's St. Germain_ or
_Pound_ pear. Fruit large, long, obtuse-pyriform, tapering at both
ends, green, tinged with yellow, very much marked with dots and patches
of russet; stem medium long, stout, curved, inserted without cavity;
calyx large, open; basin shallow; flesh white, moderately juicy, tough
but crisp, astringent; quality poor; a late keeper.
=Arlequin Musqué.= =1.= _Ann. Pom. Belge_ =1=:105, fig. 1853. =2.=
Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:158, fig. 1867.
Raised from seed by Van Mons and noted in his catalog of 1825 under
the number 1737. Fruit large, globular-obovate, even and regular in
outline, dull or olive-green which changes to lemon-yellow on maturity,
dotted all over with brown spots, washed with fawn on the side next the
sun; flesh white, buttery, melting, very sweet, acid, rather gritty
around the core, juicy and having a savory perfume, sometimes of musk;
second; in France Sept. and Oct.
=Arlingham Squash.= =1.= Hogg _Fruit Man._ 484. 1884.
An English pear deriving its name from the village of Arlingham. It
is in demand for the making of perry in the neighborhood of Hereford,
Eng. Fruit globular, acute-pyriform, rather irregular in outline, dark
green, with a brownish tinge on the side next the sun, a good deal
russeted all over; flesh white, juicy, crisp, aromatic.
=Armand Prévost.= =1.= Hogg _Fruit Man._ 484. 1884.
Origin unknown. Fruit medium, oblong-obovate, narrowing from the bulge
to the calyx; even and regular in contour; a fine golden-yellow, with
an orange cheek minutely dotted with russet; flesh half-melting, juicy,
without much flavor; poor; Oct.
=Arménie.= =1.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:159, fig. 1867. =2.= _Guide
Prat._ 82, 231. 1876.
Believed to have originated in Asia. Merlet wrote of it in 1675 and
in 1690 when it had probably only recently been introduced into
France. Fruit medium, globular, slightly flattened at the base and
nearly always mammillate at the summit, clear green, passing into
greenish-yellow at maturity, dotted all over with brown-russet and
streaked with the same around the calyx; flesh yellowish, fine, tender,
semi-breaking, gritty at the center, with juice sufficient, sugary,
slightly musky, savory; second for dessert, first for cooking; Feb. to
May.
