NEW PEARS. CLASS II. AUTUMN. 145 



The fruit possesses the flavor and other valuable qualities 

 of this once favorite variety, but is larger, and keeps better. 



95. *FREDERIC DE WURTEMBERG. 



WURTEMBERG. CApiAUMONT of Boston, formerly, lut errone- 

 ously. 



A large and splendid fruit, of great excellence, raised 

 by Dr. Van Mons, and so named by him in honor of, and 

 at the particular request of Frederic, king of Wurtemberg. 

 The tree grows vigorous and upright ; the young wood 

 is strong, of a yellow color ; the leaves large and expanded ; 

 the fruit large, flattened at the base, pyramidally formed, 

 tapering to the stalk, which is placed on its summit ; color 

 fine yellow, covered with beautiful crimson next the sun, 

 melting, and of delicious flavor. The tree bears early, 

 and very abundantly. This fruit was sent by Mr. Knight 

 to the Hon. John Lowell, by mistake, under the name of 

 the Capiaumont. I have received the true Wurtemberg 

 from Dr. Van Mons; also the true Capiaumont, both from 

 him and from several other sources; both have been well 

 proved. 



96. *FULTON. [A.] 



The tree is a great and constant bearer. A fine native 

 pear, roundish turbinate; of medium size; the skin dark 

 yellow, russeted; melting, juicy, sugary, and of delicious 

 flavor. It ripens the middle of September, and lasts a 

 month. To have this fruit in perfection, it should be 

 gathered a little before its maturity, and ripened in the 

 shade. Raised from seed by Mrs. Fulton, of Topsham, 

 Maine. It is highly deserving of cultivation. 



97. GENDESEIM. Lindley. 



The fruit is middle-sized, pyramidal, a little uneven in its 

 outline ; the skin yellowish green, covered with specks and 

 thin patches of gray russet ; flesh a little gritty, but mellow, 

 and full of a saccharine, rich, and slightly musky juice. 

 A new Flemish pear, and a hardy and productive tree. 

 Ripe in September. 



98. GENESEE. Judge Bud. [A.] 



A beautiful and excellent fruit, in form like the Passe 

 Colmar, but of larger size. Flavor somewhat like the old 

 St. Michael. September. 



99. *GOLDEN BEURRE OF BILBOA. 



I have adopted this name for a superior fruit, which was
