 aromatic ; on tlie hawthorn it forms 

 a spreading fruitful tree. Succeeds

Louise Bonne of Jer.scy, P.,B.,H. 

 — Large. Mr. llivers says, " Whea 

 cultiv^ated on the quince stock, this is 

 the most beautiful as well as the most 

 delicious melting pear of the season. 

 Every one possessing a garden of six 

 square feet should plant a tree on the 

 quince stock of this variety ; it forms 

 a most ornamental pyramid and a 

 compact fruitful bush." It is worthy 

 of the orchard-house. October.

 late melting, like Beurre Ranee, but 

 smaller ; deserves a wall in cool cli- 

 mates. As a bush easily trained dis- 

 taff fashion by pruning. March and 

 April. Like the Conseiller de la Cour, 

 this is a most vigorous grower on the 

 quince, and requires auiuial removal 

 at the end of October to make it fruit- 

 ful, which is much preferable to the 

 excessive summer pinching recom-
