BOUSSELET STUTTGAET. 



August. This variety has been recommended by the Pomological Society. A good 

 grower, and productive. 



The Rousselet Stuttgart is an excellent Pear, but little known. The tree is hardy, 

 an erect, beautiful grower, and a prodigious bearer, succeeding equally well both on 

 Pear and Quince stocks. The wood is dark, like the Seckel, Tyson, and others of the 

 Rousselet stamp. Fruit — medium size, obovate, often pyramidal, slightly necked, 

 greenish-yellow in the shade, dull brownish-red in the sun, with carmine dots thickly 

 sprinkled over it. Flesh — half-melting, juicy, sugary, and aromatic. Ripe latter end 

 of August and first of September. Should be picked a week before ripe, but is often 

 found in very good condition on the tree. 



The old English Jargonelle is almost abandoned ; for although it is a fine tree, a 

 great bearer, and a sprightly, refreshing Pear, it is diflBcult in our climate to get it from 

 the tree before it is gone at the core. 



The Julienne has been underrated. It is a strong grower, very hardy and prolific, 

 and if picked in proper season, a good fruit. At the west and south it succeeds 

 remarkably well, and is very justly held in high esteem. It will not soon be struck 

 from the lists of good, profitable Pears. 



The Summer Francreal is not best in quality, but is so productive and so good as to 

 be highly valuable. "When taken from the tree at the proper time, it is as juicy as a 

 Peach. A friend of ours regards it as the best substitute for a Peach of any Pear he 

 knows; and he is pretty well informed. 



Duchess of Berry {Duchesse de Berry d'Ete) is a handsome an<l very 

 ripening in the latter end of August and first of September.
