[This tree requires a strong and rich soil. With us the 

 fruit is small in comparison with those we have seen offer- 

 ed in the Boston market.]

 tor Kilham, in Wenham, Essex county, Mass. 

 The size is sometimes large, the form round, a 

 little oblong ; the skin yellow, striped with red ; 

 the flesh is yellow and high flavored, but soon be- 

 comes dry; it bears young and constantly, and 

 ripens from September to November. The tree 

 is of a spreading, but not regular form, and may 

 be known by small warts or protuberances on the 

 bark. M. 



[This fruit we should not recommend to cultivate large- 

 ly for the markets, as it so soon decays after ripening.]
