A fine little summer pear, from Germany, and though not 

 in this country, has gained 



long 



hosts of friends. And al- 

 though we mu.st not expect 

 large size and high flavor 

 in summer pears, this vari- 

 ety nsuallyapproachcs near- 

 est to the fine rich flavor of 

 our'best autumn pears. It 

 is very juicy and sweet, with 

 a pleasant aromatic taste. 

 Pyriform, with a long slen- 

 der, curs'ed stem. Skin a 

 yellowish-green, often with 

 a sunny-brown cheek. Tree 

 vigorous, growing well on 

 the Quince. 



It is like all the summer 

 pears, very greatly improved 

 by gathering before becom- 

 ing quite ripe : and the 

 terms of quality bestowed 

 upon them will never be 

 found appropriate or truth- 

 ful, except under this con- 

 dition.
