DESCRIPTION OF NEW PEARS. 



vinous in flavor; agreeably perfumed and highly flavored. It is a delicious, first 

 pear, and I do not know another equally good at this season, where we have SO many 

 kinds in ripening, — end of September and October. I do not know its origin. 



Beurre Clairgeau of Nantes. 



III. Beurke Clairgeau, (of Nantes.) — A very large fruit, irregularly turbinated; 

 skin — yellow greenish, with dark spots; flesh — melting, buttery, juicy; resembles the 

 Graj"^ Doyenne; ripens in October and November. A vigorous tree; very productive, and 

 forming fine pyramids. It is a handsome pear of first rate quality, raised from seed by 

 Mr. Clairgeau, at Nantes, (France,) and put in trade by the care of the Horticultural 

 Society of this city. Yours very respectfully, Andre Le Ror.
