able perfume. An excellent fruit, and promises well. Ripens from 13th to last of

DOYENNE DEFAIS. 



BEURRE CHARRON. 



Beurre Superjin. — Fruit — large, fine yellow. Stalk — one inch, inserted without 

 depression. Calyx — spreading, in a rather shallow basin. Flesh — yellowish-white, 

 fine grained, buttery, very melting, extremely juicy, with a rich, subacid, vinous flavor 

 Season— October 12th to 20th. A splendid Pear for those who prefer the high vinous 

 characteristic. We fully sustain the opinion of Col. Wilder, and hesitate not to call 

 it a first-rate Pear. 



Vizouziere. — Fruit — small to medium, round. Skin — smooth and yellow. Stalk 

 — an inch and a half long, slender, and deeply inserted. Calyx — open, and placed in 

 a shallow basin. Flesh — very melting, juicy, sweet, agreeable, but with little or no 

 perfume. Ripens latter part of September. This has fruited with us this season for 

 the first time, and needs further trial. Grows well on Quince. 



Serruriers. — Medium, greenish -yellow. Stalk — inserted in a moderate depression. 

 Calyx — large and spreading, in a deep cavity. Flesh — coarse-grained, very juicy and 

 melting, with a high, vinous flavor, like Brown Beurre, and with a slight bergamot 

 perfume ; desirable, and possessing, somewhat, the characteristic of the Beurre Super- 

 fin. It has fruited this season the first time ; needs further trial, but promises well. 

 Grows well on the Quince.
