PEACH AND THE PEAR. 22/ 



As to the quality, we say, after the American Pomo- 

 logical Society, "best," "very good" and "good."' 



As to size, we say, "large," "medium" and small." 

 For example take the Lawrence pear, it is. 

 As to shape, obovate obtuse pyriform. 

 As to quality, best. 

 As to size, medium. 



As to some of the prefixes formerly used to names 

 of pears, I shall, as far as possible, dispense with them 

 in this work, as Doyenne, Beurre, etc., as they convey 

 no particular distinctive mark to the pear. 



LIST OF PEARS THAT MAY BE GROWN ON THE DELA- 

 WARE AND CHESAPEAKE PENINSULA. 



The list is given, as near as possible, in the order of 

 ripening. It would be impossible to make such a list 

 absolutely correct in this respect, as many varieties vary 

 with soil, season, etc. S — Standard. D — Dwarf. S 

 and D — Standard or Dwarf, that is, will succeed well on 

 either. 



1 Lawson, or Comet, S and D 



2 Summer Doyenne, S 



3 Sugar Pear, S 



4 Madeline . . .S 



5 Mannings Elizabeth, S and D 



6 Ott S
