FOK MAEKET CULTIVATION ON PEAR.

of an olive brown. The fruit is obovate, brownish green at first, 

 changing to a dull yellow, with a reddish russet cheek ; stem not 

 very long; calyx set in a very shallow basin. It has the merit of 

 long keeping, while ripe, and maybe ripened anytime during Sep- 

 tember and October. In collections, I would advise to plant a 

 few Seckels on Quince, for trial. It has a tendency to overbear, 

 when of considerable age, and. in consequence, the fruit becomes 

 very small.
