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 11 are native of Maine. 



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

 injury 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 Bosq. Tree vigorous and a regular bearer. 

 Fruit generally perfect and of uniform size and high color. 



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

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



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

 otherwise nearly faultless, both in tree and fruit. 



No. 6 — Beurre Diet. First rate in every respect in favorable 

 situations ; but on young trees and in cold soils the fruit is apt to 

 be coarse and astringent.
