Flemish Beauty. 
In good soils and open situations, the Flemish Beauty 1s cer- 
tainly one of the most superb pears in this climate. We have 
seen specimens, grown on the banks of the Hudson, the past 
summer, which measured twelve inches in circumference, and 
were of the finest quality. The tree is very luxuriant, and bears 
early and abundantly; the young shoots upright, dark brown. 
It should be remaiked, however, that the fruit requires to be. 
gathered sooner than most pears, even before it parts readily 
from the tree. If it is then ripened in the house, it is always 
fine, while, if allowed to mature on tke tree, it usually becomes , 
soft, flavourless, and decays soon. ai
