=Azerole.= =1.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:174, fig. 1867.
Azerole is an ancient pear though the date and the circumstances of
its origin are unknown. Jean Bauhin mentioned it in his "_Historia
Plantarum_" published in 1650. Fruit very small, oblong or turbinate,
yellowish-orange, very finely dotted with fawn, and blushed on the
cheek exposed to the sun; flesh yellowish, tender, fine, soft,
perfumed, rather gritty around the core, juicy, sugary; third; Sept.
=Baguet.= =1.= Mas _Pom. Gen._ =4=:15, fig. 200. 1879.
The origin of this pear is uncertain but a bulletin of the Society of
Van Mons, 1866, placed the name of Baugniet in parenthesis, suggesting
thereby that it was raised by M. Baugniet in Belgium. Fruit large to
very large, oblong-obovate-pyriform, very bright green with grayish
dots passing on ripening to bright lemon-yellow; flesh whitish,
semi-fine, rather buttery, fair amount of sweet juice, acidulous,
sprightly; of good quality when its acidity is not too much developed;
Nov. and Dec.
