 Long IsLnd, m October, 18^0. ( 

 Mk Fessenpe.n- — I have seen in the New England Farmer of the "^and 

 Si.|.tcmber last, a letter of Mr LoVvei.l of Ko.xbiirv. relative to soine 

 I^oars which he received of Mr Kmgiit, president nf tlie London IJor- 

 Itiiral Society ; for .some of which he was indchtoil to iny brother .lo- 

 M !'ar'.!entif.r of Holland, member of the National Institute and other 

 mod Societies. I send yon the following table of the Pears whicli he 

 esses, which was inserted in the fifth volume of the transactions of said 

 ?iotv, of which my brother is a corrospondinw member. Tiie table points 

 e tunes of their maturity, their size and taste. The last column shows 

 which I possess, and am willing to dispose of. Tins list comprises 

 eatest part of the pears of Flander.s ; and those belonging to my 

 T are such only as he could speak of from e.\perience. This table, I 

 nk, w ill prove interesting to the amateurs of fruit-trees, as it is composed 

 new fruit, and gives some directions relative to its management. 



With much esteem, yours, ANDRE PARMENTIER.
