Notes on New Pears. 149 



Form, roundish, obovate, or oval ; skin, brownish red. Ripe 

 the latter part of September. 



Paradise (£ Automne. — AUhough, in its general appearance 

 and flavor, this very much resembles the Beurre Bosc, it is 

 nevertheless quite distinct It is of more irregular shape, 

 and the flesh is more melting than that of the Bosc, but per- 

 haps it will not keep quite so long. The russet of the skin 

 is also much rougher than that of the Bosc. The tree is 

 very vigorous, much more so than that of the Bosc, with 

 stout shoots, at first taking an upright direction, but after- 

 wards becoming straggling and almost pendulous. Annexed 

 are two outlines of this pear : — No. 1, from a specimen of 

 1844, when the tree bore about half a dozen. No. 2, the 

 same enlarged and altered, so that, if my memory serves me, 

 (and I believe it does exactly,) it more nearly represents those 

 of the last season, when two or three dozen were produced. 

 [We have an outline of this fine pear, made the last season, 

 from one of Mr. Manning's specimens, and as it is a variety, 

 we intend to describe and figure in our series of articles on 

 the pear, we omit it now. — JEld.\ 



Coter. — Medium size ; obovate ; light green ; flesh tender 

 and juicy; excellent. This variety was received from Dr. 

 Van Mons ; it ripens in October. 



Mr. Manning has also sent us a number of synonyms 

 which have been detected in the Pomological Garden, several 

 of them the past season; and, he adds, that "of these he 

 could have sent more, especially of Dr. Van Mons's Num- 

 bered varieties, which have proved to be the same as named 

 kinds, but these he deems it unnecessary to publish, and others 

 may prove only misnomers.
