by Nathaniel Fellows, for his daughter, Mrs. Jonathan Amory, hence one 

 of the synonyms of the fruit ; it was afterwards sold to Abraham Gibson, 

 hence another synonym, and finally to its present owner. How and when 

 the original tree disappeared is not known. 



Tree hardy, spreading ; comes early into bearing ; crops constant and 

 abundant ; it makes but little new wood ; is not liable to crack, or be 

 blasted ; the fruit is almost always fair. Experience has shown that it is 

 peculiarly adapted to our soils and climate ; it is therefore one of the most 

 desirable varieties of Septenaber pears.
