DOVENNK d'AlENCON. 



Doycnnfe Gris d'llivcr Nonvcau, I St. Michael rVIIivor, 



Doyenne Oris d'lliver d'Alenron, | New Gray Winter Vorgalieu. 



Although not yet sufRciently tested, this pear has received the 

 hii^hest praise, wherever well cultivated. I have proved speci- 

 mens from several localities, and all were excellent. The tree is 

 vigorous, of handsome shape, easily trained to a pyramid, docs 

 exceedingly well, and is best on the Quince. Fruit, obovate, obtuse 

 pyriform, with rough, thick, astringent skin of russet green, with 

 coarse russet spots. Flesh, rather coarse-grained, yet melting 

 juicy, and almost buttery, with a sprightly vinous and rich flavor. 



With proper treatment it keeps till April, which makes it valu- 

 able for a market Pear. If kept warm it ripens in December.
