No. 541. 
PYRUS JAPONICA alba. 
— 
Class. Order, 
ICOSANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
A native of Japan and China, from 
whence it was introduced a few years since. 
This variety, though less rich in colour 
than the scarlet, is still a very handsome 
plant. It blooms abundantly in April and 
May, and requires no protection, being a 
hardy shrub. It may be increased by 
the other sort, and will grow in almost any 
soil.
