Madame Treyve Pear. — One of the most beautiful, perhaps the most 

 beautiful and finest summer pear we have seen, is a variety sent us by Mr. Riv- 

 ers, and of which we furnish our readers with a figure in our present number. 

 As will be seen by the figure, it is of good size ; but it requires the painter's pen- 

 cil to give any idea of the color, which, on the side exposed to the sun, is of a 

 brilliant vermilion crimson, — more brilliant even than Forelle, which is one of 

 the highest-colored of pears. On the shaded side, Madame Treyve is of a pale

straw-yellow ; but on that next the sun, and extending 

 surface of the fruit, it is as we have already described it, 

 yellow dots. The eye is very small and open, and set in 

 the stalk slender, half an inch to three-quarters long, 

 cavity ; flesh white, like that of Forelle, melting like a 

 and sugary, with a delicate and highly-refined aroma, 

 ripe in the beginning of September. — English Journal
