when ripe and beginning to decay, when 



it becomes very sweet. (Dec. Prod.) A 



native of the Alps of Austria, where it 



grows to the height of 10 or 12 feet. It 



was introiluced into the Horticultural 



Society's Garden in 1826, or before ; and 



is already 15 ft. high, forming a very hand- 



.some white-foliaged tree ; though, as we 



think, decidedly only a variety, or race, of 



the common wild pear. ,54. p. ,(,., nivM-^.
