form, it is not as long a frnit as the White Doyenne, being be- 

 tween that and a bergamot pear in shape, but at its greatest 

 diameter, it equals in size a large fruit of the Doyenne. 



BLOPGET. Pr. Cat. 

 This variety was raised from seed by Deacon David Blod- 

 get, late of Camden, Maine. The original tree is now thirty- 

 two years old, in a vigorous state, and a good bearer. The 

 fruit is of medium size and pyriform, and at maturity is melt- 

 ing, juicy, and of a very pleasant vinous flavour. It attains 

 its maturity here in the month of September. 



HONEY. Pk. Cat. 

 This variety is considerably cultivated in the state of Maine, 

 and claimed by some persons there to be a native. The fruit 

 is under a medium size ; the flesh melting, vexy juicy, and of a 

 rich, sweet, musky, and sprightly flavor, and deemed by the 

 gentleman who sent it to me, to be equal to the White Doy- 

 enne. The tree bears abundantly, and in its form is rather 

 more spreading than lofty. The period of maturity is the be- 

 ginning of September. I am informed by Jacob Patch, Esq. 

 of Maine, that this and the preceding varieties are found to 

 be exceedingly hardy and well suited to the severe climate of 

 that state.
