336 Pom.ological Notices. 



Art. II. Pomological Notices : or notices respecting new 

 and superior fruits, worthy of general cultivation. By the 

 Editor. 



During the last year, owing to the space devoted to our 

 notes of European gardens, and gardening, we did not find 

 room to offer our usual notices of miscellaneous fruits. A 

 variety of information has consequently accumulated on our 

 hands, and we now proceed to continue our account of a por- 

 tion of the new varieties, both native and foreign, which have 

 recently been introduced to notice. 



Pears. — Several new varieties, which have already been 

 fully proved, have been described or noticed in a previous ar- 

 ticle, (p. 143.) The following bear a high recommendation 

 abroad, and will, undoubtedl}^, prove valuable ; of this, how- 

 ever, we shall not omit to keep our readers informed. 



Langelier' s Beurre. — M. Langelier was the first to intro- 

 duce the Van Mons Leon le Clerc, to the notice of cultivators ; 

 the whole stock was placed in his hands for sale, and it has 

 proved equal to the character he gave it. M. Langelier has 

 now offered a new variety, which he calls Langelier's Beurre. 

 Very sm.all trees sold rapidly last year, at a high price, and 

 from the following description, which we copy from a circular 

 forwarded to us by M. Langelier, it appears to possess great 

 merit. As our trees have the appearance of showing fruit 

 another year, we hope soon to be able to test its excellence. 



" M. Langelier begs leave to draw the attention of pear 

 growers to his new Pear, named Langelier's Beurre, of first 

 rate merit ; perfectly melting, ripe in January, of a fine Beurre 

 shape, larger than Napoleon, bears well as a standard, trees 

 very vigorous, and one of the best flavor in cultivation, other- 

 wise it would not be recommended by R. L., as his motive for 

 advertising it is not for the sake of publishing, but for the 

 good of the public in general, to whom he is happy to have 

 an opportunity of rendering himself useful, and of which Yan 

 Mons Leon le Clerc will be a sufficient guarantee, having 

 proved itself as it was represented, and given universal satis- 

 faction."
