PEARS.

No. 35. Surpass Vergalieu. This tree was 

 received from the late Mr. Parmentier, of Brooklyn, 

 L. I. ; as we do not find the name in any European 

 author, it was probably adopted in this country. 

 The fruit is large, form oblong, some specimens 

 nearly round ; the skin smooth, of a light yellow 

 with a little red on the side next the sun ; the flesh 

 rich, juicy and high flavored. It appears to require a 

 warm sun to have it in its greatest perfection ; it bears 

 young, yields large crops of fair fruit every year, and 

 is worthy of extensive cultivation. Ripe in October.
