‘A NEW VARIETY OF SUMMER PEAR. 
[Translated fom the French. ] 
For many years past nurserymen and the writers on pomology have brought 
to our notice many new varieties of summer pears of.a quality and flavor hitherto 
without pagallel, but they have lacked one very important quality—size. 
The French Imperial Journal of Horticulture has a somewhat extended notice, 
drawn up at the request of the committee on tree culture, of a new summer 
pear, from which we have condensed the following description. 
It was originated by M. Ruillé de Beauchamp, of Pont Saint Martin, near 
Nantes, who has named it the Potre de I’ Assomption, from the time of its ripen- 
ing—that being from the first to the last of August, according to climate, place, 
and culture. M. de Beauchamp raised it from the seed in 1855, but as the seed 
was sown promiscuously, cannot tell from what variety it came. It bore its 
first fruit in 1863. It is vigorous, fruits readily and abundantly ; resembles the 
Colmar @ Aremburg in wood, but in shape, the Bon Chretien William; the 
branches, however, are stouter than those of the latter, and somewhat swollen 
at the ends; the leaves moré deeply serrated. This striking resemblance be- 
’ tween the trees is also seen in the fruit; while as yet it has not acquired a 
definite shape, the Potre de I’ Assomption sometimes resembles the Bon Chreticn* 
William, sometimes the Colmar d’ Aremburg, and occasionally it even coun- 
terfeifs the Best de Chaumontel, but under what ever form it assumes, it always 
retains its magnificent size. The specimens submitted to the committee varied 
in weight from eight to ten ounces. 
It would be easily mistaken for either of the above varieties, were it not for 
the difference in the time of maturing and the quality of the pulp. It is very
