 Asters, Georginas. — Fruit. Pears : Beurre Diel, Marie Louise, and Doy- 

 enne blanc (the season of this excellent sort may be prolonged by planting 

 against a north wall, on which it succeeds well ; the same remark will 

 also apply to the Beurre Diel : such a situation would be lost on most of 

 the old sorts), Beurre Knox (hardy), Gendeseim (a good bearer), Sucre 

 vert, Duchesse d'Angouleme (found, contrary to what has been reported 

 of it, to be a good bearer), Beurre de Capiauniont, Calebasse (a great 

 bearer), Inconnue cramoisine (produces sometimes very large fruit on a 

 standard, but is not of first-rate quality), Styrian (bears every year a second 

 crop ; the latter production is, however, very different, in form, texture, and 

 quality, from that from mature buds and perfect blossoms : a tolerably good 

 sort, but not first-rate), Psidium Q,Q.tt\ddnum. Vegetables: Leaf beet, 

 Couve Tronchuda.
