156 NEW AMERICAN ORCHARDIST. 



the eye on the summit ; the stalk gross and fleshy ; skin at 

 maturity yellowish, mixed with russet brown, tinged with 

 red next the sun ; flesh whitish, tender, delicate ; juice 

 sweet, abundant, and agreeably perfumed. It ripens early 

 in September, and keeps till October. The tree grows 

 upright, wood yellow, and the leaf and tree are beautiful. 

 One of the most beautiful, productive, and profitable of 

 its season, and extensively cultivated near London, for 

 the market. Its original being for a time lost, it received 

 its latter name from that of the gentleman who has so 

 liberally and extensively disseminated the fruit, Enoch 

 Bartlett, Esq., of Dorchester, late vice-president of the 

 Horticultural Society of Massachusetts. 



The Williams Bon Chretien originated in Berkshire, 

 England, in the garden of a Mr. Wheeler, in 1796, and 

 was, subsequently, extensively propagated by Mr. Williams, 

 near London ; hence its name. It seems capable of sus- 

 taining its good character in a diversity of climates; it 

 flourishes at Malta, and produces equally well on the 

 pear and on the quince. 



149. WORMSLEY GRANGE. Knight. Thomp- 

 son. [E.] 



A new variety, originated by Mr. Knight, and sent by 

 him, in 1823, to the Hon. John Lowell. Middle-sized, ob- 

 long, of a yellow brown color, beurree and excellent. Oc- 

 tober. Mr. Knight describes it as a first-rate variety, re- 

 quiring to be gathered before it is quite ripe. The lapse 

 of years has not yet satisfied us that this English va- 

 riety will answer in our warmer climate.
