and in my garden disposed to crack, like many of the old pears. 

 Ripe in August. 



11. Summer Rose. Pom. Mag. — This pear should remain on 

 the tree until ripe. The tree is large and spreading, resembhng 

 an apple tree, and attains a large size before bearing fruit. It 

 cannot be called a first rate fruit, many pears, ripening at the 

 same time, being superior to it. Coxe no doubt describes this 

 pear erroneously, as the Red Bergamot: the Bergamotte Rouge 

 of Duhamel is a very different fruit. Ripe in August and Sep- 

 tember. 



12. Skinless Coxe, No. 7. — This pear is very sweet and 

 sugary, and, on this account, subject to be injured by birds and 

 insects. It does not appear to be a great bearer, and the growth 

 of the tree is not vigorous. The pear cultivated near Boston, as 

 the long-stalked Blanquette, appears to be the same as this. Ri- 

 pens in September. 



13. Summer^ Thorn Duhamel. — This is a good pear, and of 

 a very peculiar flavor: it bears abundantly, but does not equal 

 many other varieties which ripen at the same time. September. 



14. Beauty of Summer Coxe, No. 6. — This peai" is small 

 but very handsome: the tree is of vigorous growth, attains to a 

 large size before it bears, and is then very productive. It is 

 rather dry, and of medium quahty only. Ripe in July. 



15. Loicry^s Bergamot. Synonyme: Prince^.s Sugar Pear. — 

 This is said to be very fine on Long Island; but with us is 

 only a second rate fruit. It is, I believe, a native, a great bear- 

 er, ripening in September. 



16. Bloodgood. Synonyme: Early Beurre of Princes' 

 Cat. — A large, handsome and good pear; a native of New 

 York: the tree is of vigorous growth, the young wood very 

 short jointed. I received this tree from James -Bloodgood &. 

 Co. It bears very young and abundantly, and is well deserving 

 of cultivation. August. 



17. Jlh, Mon JJieu. Synonyme: Poir d^Amour. — Very 

 handsome and productive; the tree of vigorous and spreading 

 growth. It is not a first rate fruit. Ripens in September. 



18. Andrews. Synonyme: Amory, or Gibson. — A well 

 known and good fruit, ripening in September. It is no doubt a 

 native, and well deserving cultivation: it bears young, and is 

 productive. 



19. Bergamotte Rouge Duhamel, but not of Coxe. — This is 

 a flat pear, of medium quality only. It is a great and early 

 bearer, but rather dry, and wants flavor. 



20. Summer Bergamot. — This pear, cultivated in Essex 

 County, and near Boston, by the above name, differs from that 

 described by Coxe or the European authors. Its origin is uri- 

 certain: it is productive, but dry and mealy. September.
