148 NEW AMERICAN ORCHARDIST. 



107. JUTTE, OR BUIST. 



Large, oblong, handsome, greenish yellow in the shade, 

 ruddy next the sun, and good ; the tree a great bearer, 

 ripening the middle of September. A variety received 

 from the Lond. Hort. Soc., and lately proved by Mr. Man- 

 ning. 



108. KING EDWARD'S. 



JACKMAN'S MELTING of some English catalogues. 

 A new fruit, received by Mr. Manning from England, 

 origin unknown; large, and very oblong, pyramidal; the 

 stalk short ; skin covered with dark red ; the flesh juicy 

 and good, but not rich; remarkable for its beauty. The 

 tree promises to bear well, and the fruit ripens late in Sept. 



109. LODGE. Col. Carr. [A.] 



A new seedling, raised in the neighborhood of Philadel- 

 phia. A tolerably large pear, of a brown color ; melting, 

 juicy, and of delicious flavor ; thought by some to be su- 

 perior to the Seckel. It ripens early, but keeps well; and 

 is thought to be highly deserving of general cultivation. 



110. *LOUISE BONNE DE JERSEY. [F.J 

 LOUISE BONME D'AVRANCHES. Bon Jard. Lusette. 



A fruit of surpassing excellence, very large, oblong, 

 pyramidal, swollen; brownish green in the shade, changing 

 to yellow at maturity ; ruddy, or sometimes of a beauti- 

 ful red next the sun ; flesh very melting and fine ; juice 

 very abundant, sugary, and high-flavored. This very su- 

 perior fruit originated at Avranches, or at Cherbourg, in 

 France, where it ripens in October. M. Lusette stated to 

 me that the tree was even more productive than the Marie 

 Louise. In England, also, this fruit proves most extraor- 

 dinary, ripening there in November. It is there stated 

 that "this pear and the Bosc even more than rival the 

 Marie Louise." So states Mr. Thompson. 



111. MADOTTE. [J.J [Margat.] 



Large and beautiful, of a fine yellow color ; even supe- 

 rior in quality to the Duchesse d'Angouleme, as Mons. 

 Margat informs me ; equally as long, but not quite so broad, 

 and of a more beautiful form ; ripening in November 



112. *MARIE LOUISE. Pom. Mag. Van Mons.
