and it is nearl}- covered by a slight russet, but turning yel- 

 low at maturity. The stem is inserted in a very slight de- 

 pression, but sometimes by a lip. The calyx is open and 

 also inserted in a slight depression. The fruit is buttery, 

 and perfectly melting, sweet and sprightly, free from that 

 strong Bartlett flavor ( which is rather disagreeable to 

 manj^ ), but having one peculiar to itself. 



It ripens from the tenth to the thirtieth of October. 



We think it a pear of great promise, and well^vorthy of 

 a trial, particularly as it ripens so much later than the 

 Bartlett.
