PEARS. 557 



pale brown russet. Eye, open, set in a round saucer-like basin. 

 Stalk, about an inch long, inserted in a small round cavity. Flesh, 

 yellowish, tender, melting, and juicy, sugary, and with a rich perfume. 



A first-rate pear ; in use from November till January. On the Weald 

 of Sussex and growing in soil of the Hastings Sand formation at Old- 

 lands, near Uckfield, Mr. Luckhurst says, " The fruit is small and very 

 handsome, wonderfully juicy and sweet, with an aroma of extraordinary 

 richness. It is a veritable sweetmeat, and its value is all the greater 

 from the fact of its keeping good quite six weeks after it is ripe." 



This is an American pear, raised at Roxbury, Mass., by Mr. Francis Dana, and 

 named in honour of Mr. C. M. Hovey, the well-known nurseryman of Boston, 

 and author of " The Fruits of America." Mr. Hovey's name is pronounced 

 *' Huvvy."
