60 AMATEUR’S LIST. 
worthless variety in New Jersey. It is the most 
promising and least productive variety with which I 
am familiar. 
We have more trees of the Duchesse d’Angou- 
léme in our orchard, than of any other variety; next 
in number is the Bartlett. The others are in about 
equal proportion. If confined to plant but two var- 
ieties for profit, [ would choose these two named. 
For four varieties, I would add Beurré d’ Anjou and 
Vicar of Winkfield; and for six, I would include 
besides these four, Lawrence and Doyenné Bous- 
sock.
