at Enghein. Noisette, the French nurseryman, having intro- 

 duced, about the same time, another fine pear from the garden 

 of the Duke of Aremberg, gave it the name of Beurr6 d'Arem- 

 berg. This latter pear proved to be the Glout Morceau, and 

 hence arose the confusion, which still, in some measure, exists

 Glout Morceau. The two sorts are, however, easily distin- 

 guished. The fruit of the d'Aremberg has a short, or thicker

 sugary, and its wood is stronger, with more deeply serrated 

 leaves. Branches clear yellowish-brown, dotted with pale 

 specks.
