Remarks on the List of Pears. 



Nos. 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19 and 23, are of American origin; 

 the others foreign. Nos. 14, 15 and 17 are natives of Maine. 



No. 1 — Bartlett. Tree somewhat tender, and hence liable to 

 injur}' from sudden changes of temperature in winter. 



No. 2 — Belle Lucrative. One of the best at its season as a single 

 variety for home use. 



No. 3 — Beurre Bosc. Tree vigorous and a regular bearer. Fruit 

 generally perfect and of uniform size and high color. 



No. 4 — Beurre Clairgemi. Succeeds best on light, warm soils. 

 Forms a fine, thrifty tree, and bears early. Valuable for market. 



No. 5 — Beurre d' Anjou. In some localities bears lightly, — 

 otherwise nearly faultless, both in tree and fruit. A poor bearer in 

 Western Kennebec.
