Siieh is iMuns. 1'ierahd's Heirriplion of this

 at large in onlir that cultivators niny know wlietli- 

 cr the fruit holii to tlicni as this |><.-ar, is truly DUcli 

 or not. 1 fei-l sure that Mr l*Aitsr)>M iiml myself 

 have thirf'iilontical fruit. It ilitTirr.-i only in its «« 

 — his wcif^hing 13 ounces, ami mine 11 — in all 

 other res|iects, it ngroes with the dcsij-iplion. Its 

 great fault is, that it hoars too exuherantly. It ri- 

 pens well in our clinHile, and a tree of mediusn 

 size would yield at least four Imrrels. .V stranger 

 would suppose it to he u coarse fruit, hut from 

 speriineiiS which 1 shall send to the Ilnrticultuial 

 Soiriety of MassaclMisctis, 1 have no douht they 

 will place it hy the siile of the Chaniuontelle, and 

 St. Gfrmain. 1 now .send one specimen for in- 

 spection to the Horticultural Society, though it 

 will not he ripe till ahout Decendicr. .Mons. PiE- 

 KARD says it ripens in Ocioher, and will keep till 

 Decenilier. 1 am incliueil to hulieve this to he
