Art. II. Pomological Notices : or. Notices respecting new 

 and superior fruits worthy of general cultivation. Des- 

 cription of six varieties of pears of recent introduction. 

 By the Editor. 



During the years 1841 and 1842, the late Mr. Manning 

 furnished us with specimens of most of the new and recently 

 introduced varieties of pears, which had been received by 

 him from Dr. Van Mons of Belgium, the London Horticul- 

 tural Society, and other sources, and which he had fruited 

 and proved. From these specimens we made accurate 

 drawings, and wrote out the descriptions as they are given 

 in the following article. Though some of the varieties have 

 been mentioned in our previous volumes by Mr. Manning, 

 we shall venture to hope that the more detailed descrip- 

 tions now given, together with the engravings of the fruits, 

 will render the following interesting to all cultivators. 

 Descriptions and drawings of other new varieties will ap- 

 pear in future numbers.
