flesh is melting, and the juice high-flavoured. 

 It ripens in Oetoher. It succeeds best OB an 

 east aspect, and a loamy soil. It is a plentiful 

 bearer. Mr. Forsyth observes, that it <; was 

 introduced from Burgundy by the late Marshal 

 Conway, and was first raised, in tins country, 

 at his seat of Park Place, near Henley-upon- 

 Tbames, now the seat of Lord Malmesbury." 



The Williams's Seedling Pear, which resembles 

 a Summer Bonchreiien, but is more juicy, is a 

 great bearer, and ripens in September. Mr. 

 Forsyth savs that it " will be a valuable acqui- 

 sition to the market-gardeners, as it immedi- 

 ately succeeds the Windsor Pear." 



The Citron de Cannes, which is a middle- 

 sized pear, of a yellowish-green cast, full at the 

 eve ; of a round shape, but tapering a little to- 

 ward the stalk, which is long. It becomes ripe 

 in July. 



And the True Golden Beurre, which in shape 

 and size resembles the Brown Beurre ; but is of 

 a reddish-brown colour next the sun. It is a 

 very fine pear, but does not keep long. It 

 comes into eating in October. 



Mr. Forsyth gives the following selection from

 a yellow colour, and bright red towards the sun; 

 making a beautiful standard tree.
