Eemarks. — Eots at core before it looks ripe. Fine in 

 flavor, hoAvever, when sound. Exhibited by A. H. Ernst, 

 August, 1855. Committee considered these specimens 

 " very fine ; a first-rate fruit." l!s"ot much cultivated, yet, in 

 this vicinity. If it generally rots, which is likely, it will 

 be better to regraft old trees, and cease cultivating it. 

 Committee must have been in error about this fruit; not 

 a first-rate fruit. Good on alternate years, when it bears 

 heavy crops. It is too small for market, because it comes 

 in with the great Bartlett. Specimens of the same fruit 

 will often vary very much — so much so as often to. deceive 

 the most experienced. It sometimes requires several tri- 

 als of the same fruit to be infallible. 



Beurre de Waterloo. Color, dull green, rough skin, 

 with russet traces and points ; form, obtuse pyriform ; 

 size, 1 ; use, table ; texture, juicy, sprightly, sugar}^ ; qual- 

 ity, 1 ; season, September.
