THE PEAR. 787 



a series of four new Pears, originated by Mr. Huyshe, all of which are 

 said to be of superior excellence. The tree is a vigorous grower, with 

 short-jointed young shoots of a dark dull reddish brown, and indistinct 

 white specks. Hogg describes the fruit as large, oblong obovate pyri- 

 form, grass green, much covered with russet and russet dots. Stalk 

 long, stout. Calyx small, open. Basin deep, uneven. Flesh yellowish, 

 coarse-grained, juicy, melting, sweet, vinous, with a peculiar flavor un- 

 like any other pear. November.
