Pomological JSTotices. 15 



21. Petit Blanquette. — This pear grows in clusters: it is nearly 

 white, bears abundantly, but, among so many fine pears, ripening at 

 the same season, does not appear to deserve cultivation. August. 



22. Rushinore''s Bon Chretien. Synonyme: Harrison'' s Large 

 Fall of Coxe, No. 52. — This is a great bearer. It is an infe- 

 rior table fruit, and good as a baking ))ear, but ripens at a time 

 when they are not desirable. September and October. 



23. Ciishing. — This is a native pear, and very good: the trees 

 bear abundantly, and for a private garden or the market is well 

 deserving of cultivation. September and October. 



24. Harvard. — This is also of native origin: the tree is of 

 very upright and vigorous growth: it does not bear until it attains 

 a large size, but is then very fruitful: sometimes apt to rot at the 

 core; otherwise a very desirable fruit: ripening in September.* 



25. Heathcot. — Another of our fine native pears, ripening in 

 October, and well deserving of cultivation. 



26. Johonnot. — This pear originated in the garden of the late 

 G. S. Johonnot, Esq., in Warren Street, Salem. It is not 

 handsome, but of fine flavor, and a first rate fruit, ripening in 

 September. 



27. JSTaumkeag. — This pear also was raised by Mr. Johon- 

 not. I think it will prove good, but have raised but one pear 

 this season. It ripens in October, and is very productive. 



28. J^eictown Virgalieu. — Said to be a native of Long Island: 

 a great bearer; rather indifferent as a table fruit, but excellent 

 for baking, in November and December. 



29. Papers Scarlet Major. — The origin of this pear is un- 

 known to me. It bears well, is handsome, but very indifferent. 

 Ripens in October. 



SO. Popeh Quaker. — Origin also unknown. It is very pro- 

 ductive, of a yellow russet color, beautiful in appearance; and, 

 although not high flavored, is well deserving of cultivation as a 

 market fruit. Ripens in October. 



31. Autumn Superb Buel & Wilson's Cat. — This is a pear 

 imported from France, (the true name lost.) It is an early and 

 good bearer, and, I should judge, from the experience of two 

 seasons, a handsome and fine fruit. Ripe in October. The 

 trees are not vigorous growers. 



32. Autumn Bounty. — A native American baking pear, a 

 great bearer, ripe in September. 



33. Belle Lucrative. — This tree I received from Messrs. 

 Young, of Epsom, England. The trees do not produce young, 

 but, when large, are great bearers. It is a first rate fruit, very 

 sweet, juicy and delicious. September. 



* The original stump of this variety, which has been doubted by some 

 as being a native, is still growing upon the borders of the towns of Cam- 

 bridge and East Cambridge. — Cond.
