48 Pomological J\^tice$. 



88. Golden Beurre of Bilboa. — This fine pear was imported 

 from Bilboa, by Mr. Hooper, of Marblehead. The tree is a 

 good bearer; the fruit of a cinnamon russet color: it resembles 

 the Doyenne Gris, but is more oblong in shape: it ripens in 

 October. We shall no doubt find it under its true name among 

 the numerous varieties received from authentic European sources. 



89. Boxvdoin. — A native pear raised from seed in the vicinity 

 of Boston; it is large, with a thick skin; ripe in September. 

 The tree is a good bearer, but the fruit is only of secondary 

 merit. 



90. Burgcrmeester. — The pear cultivated under this name 

 near Boston is large, and the tree a great bearer. Those raised 

 in my own garden were of indifferent quality; but some sent me 

 from Medford a few days since were very fine. It is proper to 

 observe that this cannot be the true Burgermeester, as it does 

 not agree v.ith the description given in the Catalogue of the 

 London Horticultural Society, nor with the grafts received from 

 Mr. Thompson, nor with the trees sent by the Messrs. Bau- 

 mann of Bollvviller; it is however worthy of cultivation. 



91. Colmar Sabine. Synonyme: Flemish Sabine. — This 

 tree bore for the first time the past year, therefore we cannot de- 

 cide with certainty upon the merits of the fruit, of which there 

 are two crops, ripening in the winter. 



92. Dearborn'' s Seedling. — Produced from seed by Gen. Dear- 

 iDorn, late President of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 

 The tree is a great bearer, and the fruit very beautiful in appear- 

 ance, of a whitish yellow color, with russet round the stem. 

 When eaten ripe from the tree, it is surpassed by no pear of the 

 same season. Ripe in August. 



93. Double-Eyed. — A pear of second rate quality, ripe in 

 August. Excelled by most others ripe at the same season. 



94. Figue of J\^aples. — As this is the first vear that the trees 

 of this variety have borne, we cannot judge of the excellence at 

 which the fruit may arrive in a more favorable season. The 

 grafts were received from the London Horticultural Society, in 

 whose catalogues it is described as a pear of first rate quality. 



95. Frederic of Prussia. — The tree received with this name 

 bore fruit of very indifferent quality; but the name may not be 

 correct. Its genuineness will be tested by grafts received from 

 other sources. Ripe in October. 



96. Fulton. — A native fruit from Topsham, INIaine. A great 

 bearer; of a russet color, and worthy of cultivation. Ripe in 

 October and November. 



97. Green Pear of Yair. — Grafts received from the London 

 Horticultural Society. The tree is a most abundant bearer, and 

 the fruit, though not first rate, deserves to be cidtivated. Ripe 

 ID September.
