Prévost, who died at Rouen in 1849, wrote of this pear that he considered it identical with the _Présent royal de Naples_ which it is said obtained its name from the fact that the King of Naples about the end of the eighteenth century sent a number of these pears to Prince Charles of Württemberg to remind him to forward a promised white stag. Fruit large, by error classed by some as a Pound pear, oblong-obtuse-pyriform, greenish-yellow, covered with patches and dots of brown russet; flesh melting, juicy, sweet, and agreeably flavored and perfumed; first; Aug. and Sept. =Beaufort. 1.= _Am. Pom. Soc. Rpt._ 153. 1885. =2.= Van Lindley _Cat._ 36. 1899. Raised by Lucy Duke, Beaufort County, N. C., about 1884 probably from seed of Winter Nelis crossed with Bartlett. It is a twin of Lucy Duke, having been raised from seed of the same pear. Fruit medium to large, globular-obovate, dull green changing to yellow-green, russeted and dotted; flesh firm and sweet; first; late Oct. =Beauvalot. 1.= Mas _Pom. Gen._ =3=:1, fig. 97. 1878. This variety was obtained by M. Sageret from seed beds made from 1816 to 1820. Fruit medium, obovate-turbinate-pyriform; skin thick, rough to the touch, firm, intense green sown with spots of greenish-brown, at maturity turning more yellow and the side next the sun golden; flesh white, slightly tinged with yellow, fine, melting; juice sufficient, saccharine, but sometimes having little flavor; second; Nov. =Beier Meissner Eierbirne. 1.= Dochnahl _Führ. Obstkunde_ =2=:52. 1856. Disseminated in Saxony and Bavaria in 1823. Fruit medium, ovate-acute, often ventriculous-conic, somewhat uneven, yellow-green changing to light yellow, no blush but often dotted with red; flesh coarse-grained, semi-melting, sweet, with a rose-water savor; third for dessert, first for household and market; early Sept. =Belle Angevine. 1.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:188, 189, fig. 1867. The Belle Angevine described by Leroy is a very beautiful pear, brilliant in color, of large size and handsome shape, but, unfortunately, not good for dessert and only second class for the kitchen. Properly Belle Angevine is a synonym of Pound or Uvedale's St. Germain, yet Leroy holds this Belle Angevine as distinct. =Belle des Arbrés. 1.= _Guide Prat._ 108. 1876. =2.= Mathieu _Nom. Pom._ 172. 1889. Introduced by M. Houdin, Châteaudun, Fr., about 1876. Fruit very large, of beautiful form, slightly washed with rose; flesh fine and smooth; first for cooking; Mar. to June. =Belle de Beaufort. 1.= _Guide Prat._ 85. 1895. Sent out by M. Louis Leroy of Angers and on trial with Messrs. Simon-Louis of Metz, Lorraine, in 1895. Tree fairly vigorous, a good grower.
