Catalogue of Pears. 



Vol. III. 



have succeeded in introducing into the Al- 

 bany Nursery, from the London Horticultural 

 Society's Garden, and from the best nursery- 

 men about London, all the esteemed varieties, 

 embracing several not included in this list, of 

 higii repute, which have come into bearing 

 since the catalogue was published. Such as 

 we have for sale, are marked by an asterisk.(*) 

 To aid the purchaser, who may be desirous 

 of obtaining a succession of choice pears, we 

 have classed them according to their time of 

 ripening, into seven classes, those of the 

 largest size, and of the first quality, being in- 

 dicated by figure 1, and those particularly 

 adapted for stewing and baking forming the 

 seventh class. The synonymes are very 

 numerous. We give, in italics, those only 

 which are best known. By selecting one or 

 more from each class, the purchaser will be 

 sure of having a succession of this fine fruit 

 ten or eleven months in the twelve.
