MAEIE LOUISE (Braddick's Meld Standard; Marie 

 Ckretienne ; Marie Louise Delcourt ; Princesse de Parme ; 

 Van DoncJclelaar). Fruit large, oblong or pyriform. 

 Skin smooth, greenish-yellow, marked with tracings of 

 thin brown russet. Eye small and open, set in a narrow, 

 rather deep and uneven basin. Stalk an inch and a half 

 long, inserted obliquely without depression. Flesh white, 

 delicate, buttery, and melting, very juicy, and exceed-

One of our very best pears. Ripe in October and 

 November. The tree is an excellent bearer ; but the 

 bloom is tender. It succeeds well either on the pear or 

 the quince, forming a handsome pyramid.
