also the fruit, the latter being marked with broad longitudinal bands of green and 

 yellow alternately. In every other respect the tree and its fruits are identical with 

 its type.

BEUEEE D'AEEMBEEG (Beurre Deachamps ; Beurre des Orphe- 

 lines ; Colmar Deschamps ; Delices des Orphelines ; Deschamps ; Due 

 d'Aremberg ; L'Orpheline ; Orpheline d'Enghein ; Soldat Laboreur). — •- 

 Fruit, medium sized ; obovate. Skin, yellowish green when ripe, and 

 considerably covered with patches, veins, and dots of cinnamon- 

 coloured russet. Eye, small, with short segments, which frequently 

 fall off, and set in a deep hollow. Stalk, from half an inch to an inch 

 long, obliquely inserted on the surface of the fruit. Flesh, white, 

 melting, buttery, and very juicy, with a rich vinous and perfumed 

 flavour. 



A dessert pear of the first merit, in use during December and 

 January. The tree is hardy, and a most abundant bearer, and may 

 be grown either as a standard or against a wall. It succeeds well bolii 

 on the pear and the quince. 



Great confusion exists between this and the Glou Mor5eau, which in numer- 

 ous instances I have found grown as the Beurre d'Aremberg. The cause of this 

 confusion is accounted for in this way : about the same time that the Beurre 

 d'Aremberg was raised by Abbe Deschamps, of the Hospice des Orphelins' at 

 Enghien, M. Noisette, of Paris, sent out the Glou Mor9eau, which he had procured 

 from the gardens of the Due d'Aremberg, under the name of Beurr6 d'Aremberg, 

 consequently there were two distinct varieties in cultivation under the saine name.
