A Russian pear imported by J. L. Budd, from the northern steppes where the summers 

 are " fully as dry and hot as ours and the winter far more severe." It shows marked traces 

 of the Chinese forms of the pear in shape, serration, thickness and size of leaf and in the 

 peculiar enlarged character of the scaly, terminal buds.
