yellow, the side next the sun of a lively red, dotted 

 with small russet spots. The fruit is very full of juice, 

 of a fine flavour, rich and sprightly. Ripens in Au- 

 gust. When the tree is considerably advanced, it is a 

 great bearer. 



The celebrated horticulturalist Mr. Knight, has 

 generously furnished John Lowell, Esq. President of 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural Society, with trees and 

 grafts of the following new varieties, the produce of 

 his own ingenious improvement. 



Cassiomont A large pear, yellow upon one side, 

 and red upon the other. Ripens in October. 



Til ling ton* It is perfectly melting or rather per- 

 fectly beurre, and very rich, sprang from a seed of 

 the autumn bergamot, and the pollen of the Jargonelle, 

 and its form is precisely such as you would expect 

 from snch a mixture. It is ripe in November. (This 

 example, observes Mr. Lowell, will shew our cultiva- 

 tors the process of Mr. Knight, and the great changes 

 produced by it. He removed from the flowers of 

 the autumn bergamot all the anthers. He impregna- 

 ted the germ with the pollen of the Jargonelle. He 

 took the seeds of the fruit, thus obtained, sowed tliem, 

 and produced a nertpear, having a mixed form, between 

 that of the Jargonelle which is long and eminently 

 pear shaped, and that of the autumn bergamot, which 

 is flattened, and rather apple shaped : and it ripens 

 nearly two months later than either of its parents.)

 our yellowish green ; the flavour of rose water. Sea- 

 son November.
