LE CURE. DUMAS. BOURGMESTRE of Boston, erroneously. 

 Very large, very oblong, pyramidal or truncated; russety 

 yellow in the shade, ruddy or bright scarlet next the sun. 

 Large specimens, produced by John Heard, Esq., of Water- 

 town, have been exhibited, weighing 13 ounces. As a table 

 fruit, it is good at maturity, which is from December to Feb- 

 ruary. A very valuable and profitable variety for its beauty, 

 large size, keeping qualities, and the astonishing crops the 

 tree bears ; and, as such, highly deserving of cultivation. A 

 new fruit, which lately originated in France. The proper 

 name, according to M. Vilmorin, should be Clion; or the 

 name of the curate who originated the fruit. 



163. COLMAR DEWEZ. London, from Bull. Univ. 

 This pear, lately originated in the vicinity of Brussels, is 



said to contain a rare assemblage of extraordinary quali- 

 ties. The flesh is white, tender, and exquisitely melting ; the 

 juice abundant, mild, and of an elevated, agreeable per- 

 fume, equal to the Hardenpont d'Hiver, improperly called 

 Beurre d'Hiver.

 plet d Agriculture, Vol. XH. p. 133. 



Fruit pyramidal, yellow, with fawn-colored points ; of 

 medium size ; the flesh half breaking, sugary, very agreea- 

 ble. It ripens in January, and will keep two years, accord- 

 ing to Van Mons. I have eaten of this fruit. The tree 

 is extremely productive. Bosc. 



165. DOWNTON. Thompson. [E.] 

 Middle-sized, pyramidal ; color yellow in the shade, dull 



brownish red next the sun ; juicy and excellent. January

 good but inferior fruit. " Of all the very late keeping
