This pear, lately originated in the vicinity of Brussels, is 

 said to contain a rare assemblage of extraordinary quali- 

 ties. The flesh is white, tender, and exquisitely melting ; 

 the juice abundant, mild, and of an elevated, agreeable per- 

 fume, equal to the Hardenpont d'Hiver, improperly called 

 Beurre d'Hiver.

Fruit pyramidal, yellow, with fawn-colored points ; of

 extremely productive. Bosc.

This fine new fruit probably originated in Flanders. It 

 is not to be confounded with the Easter Bergamotte, a 

 good but inferior fruit. " Of all the very late keeping 

 pears, this is decidedly the best, [for England.} The fruit 

 is large, roundish oblong, broadest towards the eye ; stalk 

 short, thick, deeply inserted ; green, but yellow at maturity, 

 with specks of russet brown; the flesh yellowish white, 

 perfectly buttery and melting, and extremely high-flavored. 

 It is a most profuse bearer on a quince stock. It ripens 

 from November to May. With us, near Boston, this vari- 

 ety bears most abundantly ; the fruit fine as above de- 

 scribed, but only in certain seasons or soils ; but I regret
