Pomological J^oticts. 51 



117. Beurre de J^uremburg. — This was received from a cel- 

 ebrated establishment in France as a specimen tree; it bore the 

 second year, and the fruit was of inferior quality, both for the 

 table and for baking. Ripe in January and February. 



118. Orange Musk. — This old pear was again produced in 

 my garden from a dwarf tree. It is dry and mealy, and unwor- 

 thy of further trial. Ripe in August. 



119. Pastorale. — 'An old French winter pear. In the Cata- 

 logue of the London Horticuhural Society, it is described as a 

 second rate fruit; but with me it hardly merits even that charac- 

 ter. It ripens badly, and is deficient in flavor. 



120. Reveillere le Paux. — This tree was received from France, 

 and high expectations were entertained of its excellence; but it 

 is found to be dry and unworthy of cultivation in comparison 

 with many other sorts which ripen at the same time. Sep- 

 tember. 



121. Sarazin. — This is another of the old French winter 

 pears. The tree produced a great crop this year: the pears are 

 large and handsome: they are not yet mellow, but present no in- 

 dications of excellence, either for the table or for baking. 



122. Thompson's. — A small winter pear, the grafts of which 

 were received from New Hampshire, where it is said to have 

 originated. It is wholly unworthy of cultivation. 



123. ValUe Franche. — The scions of this tree were received 

 from the London Horticultural Society. It is a great and con- 

 stant bearer: the fruit is of excellent quality, and it deserves to 

 ■be extensively cultivated. Ripe in September. 



124. Beurre Von Marum. — A new pear, noticed in Dr. 

 Van Mons's Catalogue. The tree bears well; the fruit is large 

 and good, and appears to deserve a place in any collection. 

 «Ripe in October. 



125. Williams's Double Bearing. — This tree was produced 

 from a seed of the St. Germain, in the garden of Mrs. WilHams, 

 in Salem. It bears two distinct crops of fruit every year, more 

 curious than useful. Ripe in September and October. 



126. Williams''s Early. — -This tree, produced from seed by 

 Aaron D. Williams, Esq., of Roxbury, has borne fruit in my 

 garden for two years: it bears well: the fruit, which ripens in 

 August, deserves to be placed in the first class of table pears. 



127. Bancroft's Hamburg. — This tree was imported from 

 Hamburg. It produces plentiful crops of large and good fruit: 

 ripens in September, but cannot be esteemed a first rate pear. 

 It answers well to the description of the Ronville, figured in the 

 new edition of Duhamel, and may prove to be the same. 



128. Holland Green. — This pear again made its appearance 

 in my garden from a branch left ungrafted. The Catalogue of
