Fall River, Jan. 2, 1836. 

 Dear Sib— I have taken llie liberty of sending by 

 my friend Mr Uavid Thatclier, to your care, to be pre- 

 ■ented to the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, two 

 ipecimens of Winter Pears,— they grew upon Mr Hum- 

 phry Chace's farm on Rhode Island— It is believed that 

 they are native yarieti-^s— If tlieir history is worth at- 

 tention, I presume it may be had, by addressing Mr 

 Chace, at Portsmouth, R. I. I am not acquainted with 

 him ; 1 purchased the pears in question in the market, 

 where they were sent for sale. I beg leave to have them 

 called as follows, viz. 

 The round, yellow skinned, red sided ones, the Chad 

 'ear. The bell shaped green skinned ones the JVard 

 Pear. Respectfully yours, 



M. H. Ruggles.
