Unhandsome but Luscious 



This seedling pear shows a tendency to depart from the 

 typical pear shape, being much broader at the base, and corre- 

 spondingly less graceful, than the favorite varieties. It h*zs, however, 

 qualities of flesh that commend it, but these were not considered 

 by Mr. Burbank to be sufficiently exceptional to war- 

 rant the introduction of the fruit.
