Fruit medium size, sweet, aromatic with melting flesh. Good for fresh eating. Ripe in September. Tree extremely cold hardy, to below -50 F. -- St. Lawrence Nurseries Catalog, 2006.Cabot. Originated from the seed of the Brown Beurre (Beurre Gris) by J.S. Cabot, Esq., of Salem, Mass. It has a good deal of the flavour of its parent, and is an agreeable, sub-acid fruit. The tree grows upright and very strong, and produces amazing crops, but the fruit, with us, decays very quickly - though we understand that, in older specimens, this is not the case. It merits a general trial. Col. M.P. Wilder of Boston, informs us, that with him, it is of the first quality, nearly as good as Fondante d'Automne. Fruit pretty large, roundish-turbinate, narrowing rather abruptly to the stalk, which is bent obliquely, and inserted on one side, of a tapering summit. Skin roughish, bronze yellow, pretty well covered with cinnamon russet. Calyx small, open, set in a round, smooth basin. Flesh greenish-white, breaking, juicy, with a rich, sub-acid flavour. Middle and last of September. -- A.J. Downing. 1846. Fruits and Fruit Trees of America.
