354> PEARS. 



It succeeds well on both the Pear and the Quince. 



This very valuable variety was introduced by the 

 Horticultural Society in 1826, to whom it was sent by 

 Messrs. Baumann, of Bollwiller. It has been cultivated 

 here under the erroneous names of Charles d'Autriche 

 and Belle de Bruxelles, both of which are different fruits 

 from this.

 Bretagne, between Rennes and Nantes, where it was 

 found in a wild state.
