533 The Pomological Convention^ at Buffalo. 



Early Crawford. — Very beautiful in appearance, but second-rate in quali- 

 ty. Considered, by all the members, a most valuable marhet peach. 



Jacques. — Recommended as large and productive, but not first quality in 

 flavor. 



Early Barnard. — Known, in Western New York, as the Yellow Alberge, 

 or Yellow Rareripe ; evidently a misnomer. A hardy and good peach, not 

 first-rate. Voted, that in future, it be called the Early Barnard. 



Snow. — Considered by all as excellent for preserving, as a first-rate peach 

 by some, and unworthy of cultivation, by others. 



Blood Cling. — Voted unworthy of cultivation. 



Early Royal George. — Second-rate ; liable to mildew, and, on that ac- 

 count, hardly worthy of cultivation. 



Yellow Melacoton. — Considered unworthy of cultivation. 



PEARS. 



Tyson. — Pronounced among the first of summer pears. Mr. J. J. 

 Thomas said it was much larger than Dearborn's Seedling. 



Golden Beurri of Bilboa. — Pronounced first-rate, and having the reputa- 

 tion of growing upon the quince ox pear. 



Williams'' s Bon Chritien or Barllett. — Agreed to be an excellent fruit, 

 in every particular, and well worthy of general cultivation. 



Dearborn'' s Seedling. — A first-rate pear, and worthy of extensive cultiva- 

 tion. Often bears to excess, and does well on the quince. 



Bloodgood. — Pronounced to be one of the best summer pears. Mr. J. J. 

 Thomas said that, in heavy soils, it was worthless : and Mr. Prince said it 

 was always first-rate. 



Marie Louise. — A first-rate pear, though the vote was not unanimous. 

 Mr. Thomas thought it only second-rate. Mr. L. F. Allen stated, that, in 

 his stiff clay soil, it was always fine. 



Stevens's Genesee. — Pronounced to be among the first-rate pears. Some 

 thought it more liable to blight than others : all pronounced it very pro- 

 ductive. 



White DoyennL — In Western New York, a first-rate pear. 



Rostiezer. — Pronounced to be among the best of the summer pears. 



Louise Bonne of Jersey. — Pronounced a valuable pear, and worthy of 

 general cultivation. 



Glout Morceau. — Recommended as a first-rate fruit, and worthy of culti- 

 vation, either on the pear or quince. 



These were <x[\ first-rate pears. 



Washington. — Worthy of cultivation in large gardens, but not first-rate. 



Julienne. — Unworthy of cultivation. 



Honey, of Ohio. — Specimens poor, and passed by. 



Orange Bergamot. — Unworthy of cultivation. 



Brown Beurr6. — Pronounced unworthy of cultivation, chiefly for the rea- 

 son that fine specimens could not be produced, without great care. 



English Autumn Bergamot. — Pronounced unworthy of cultivation.
