The Pear Quince. ( Cohic/ 

 poire.) Fig. 3. — This vari- 

 ety is not cultivated in the 

 nurseries at Angers, and it is 

 with difficulty that one can 

 procure it in this country. 

 The only plant which I know 

 is that in the specimen 

 grounds of M. Lk Roy. It 

 is very common in the nur- 

 series of other towns, partic- 

 ularly at Paris and Orleans, 

 where the gardeners call it 

 the " Coignassier FemeW 

 female quince. It is this 

 which they use as a stock for 

 their pears. Its vegetation 

 is mueli more slow than tliat 

 of the Anpers, so that it can 

 rarely be budded the same 

 „, ~ year it is planted, 



llie imod is hard, its branches slender and twiggy. The leaves are small an.l downy 

 Ihe /nut IS large, regular although ribbed. It is" of prett, good quality, and serves 

 tHe same culinary purposes as the other species.
