 Easter Beurre, L. B. de Jersey, Paradise d'Automne, St. Michael, Seckel,

 Beurre Diel, Beurre d'Anjou, and Glout Morceau, took a premium.

 of which he received the first premium. Compared with Mr. Earle's, this col- 

 lection contained a larger number of varieties "of three specimens each," and 

 the fruits, generally, were better grown. In other respects, the two collections 

 were of about equal rank.

 L. B. de Jersey, Flemish Beauty, Paradise d'Automne, Seckel, Marie Louise, 

 Thompson, Duchesse, Fulton, Beurre d'Anjou, Boussock, Beurre Diel, Doyenne 

 Defais, Dumas, Glout Morceau, Beurre Langelier, Winter Nelis, Sieulle and

 ish Beauty, &c. See list of gratuities.

 Flemish Beauty, Glout Morceau, Seckel, and Sieulle took a premium. 



Edward Earle, twenty-four varieties, among them beautiful Beurre Nantais, 

 Glout Morceau and Buffum. The latter were from a tree of which the yield 

 for the last nine years — estimated by disinterested persons at the fair market 

 price for each year — has amounted to not less than two hundred dollars — or an 

 average of over twenty-two dollars a year 1 



T. K. Earle, thirty-one varieties. Of these, the Bartlett, Beurre d'Anjou, 

 Dix, Duchesse, Flemish Beauty, Lawrence, Marie Louise, Sieulle, Urbaniste and

 Lucrative, General Lamoriciere, Gansel's Bergamotte, Duchesse, Marie Louise, 

 L. B. de Jersey, Seckel, Beurre Montgeron, Glout Morceau — took a premium —

 grown on the top of an old tree on pear roots.

 veau took a premium.
