The tree is one of the most productive of all pears. The 

 fruit is the best of its season ; it is rather large, very ob- 

 long ; of a green color, a little marbled with red next the 

 sun ; the flesh melting, juicy, with a slightly acid, rich, 

 and agreeable flavor. It ripens the last of July. In the 

 vicinity of Boston, where this fruit is raised in abundance 

 for the market, it is usually gathered long before fully 

 grown, and mellowed in closely-confined masses. I am 

 sorry to add, that the wood of this capital old variety be- 

 gins to canker and decay at Salem, (q.)
