Description of Select Varieties of Pears. 205 



equal to any September pear. Last year and year before, we 

 fruited it in our own collection, and it fully comes up to the 

 character we then gave it. Very much resembling the Bart- 

 lett, it is greatly superior to that pear, possessing a rich, brisk 

 juice, highly aromatized and delicious. It is also a very 



beautiful pear, uniform in size, with a bright yellow skin, 

 slightly tinged with red. 



The tree is i a vigorous grower, making short stocky 

 wood, of a dull yellow hue. It does not succeed on the 

 quince. It bears rather slowly, but produces well, when it 

 once begins to fruit.
