MASSACHUSETTS HORT. SOCIETY. 



from which I took the grafts is quite old— perhaps 

 one hundred years, or more. 



Hull Pear — Originated in Swanzey. The parent 

 tree was found by Mr. Hull, and by him brought 

 home and nurtured. On the same farm was found 

 another native variety, which was called Mason 

 Fear.* By some means the names have become 

 confounded. Mr. Wilbur sent some of the latter 

 to the Society a few years ago, by the name of 

 Hull pears, which was very much liked, and per- 

 haps the misnomer may thereby be ])erpetuated.
