18 ELLWANGER & BARRY’S

cheek, and covered with greenish dots. Flesh fine, melting, juicy, vinous, and 
of first quality. Tree a vigorous, upright grower, and an early and abundant

season, and worthy of special attention. Ripens latter part of August. 75 cents 
each. (See cut.) 

PETITE MARGUERITE. 
Souvenir du Congres—Large to very large, larger than Bartlett or Clapp’s Favor- 
ite to which it bears a strong resemblance (we have had specimens which 
weighed 27 ounces and which measured fourteen inches in circumference); skin 
smooth, bright yellow when the fruit is fully matured; with the parts exposed 
to the sun brilliant red or carmine. ‘The flesh, while it is like that of the Bart- 
lett, is free from its strong musky aroma, and is firm tothe core. It commences 
to ripen in August, a little before the Bartlett, and extends into September. 
The fruit grows sometimes singly but generally in clusters of two and three 
from the same bud, and hangs firmly. The tree is a moderate grower, and to 
obtain good standard and dwarf trees we are obliged to work it upon strong 
growing sorts. On account of its size, quality and earliness, it is entitled to a 
place among the best pears. Double worked standard or dwarf trees, $1 each. 
*Tyson—Rather above medium size; melting, juicy, sweet and pleasant. Tree 
very vigorous and rapid grower; one of the best summer varieties. Origin 
Jenkintown, Pa. August.

Belle Lucrative (Fondante d’Automne)—Large; melting and sweet. A free, 
upright grower, and bears early and abundantly. September and October. 
+Beurre Bosc—A large and beautiful russetty pear; very distinct, with a long neck; 
melting, or nearly so, high flavored and delicious. A moderate grower and 
rather irregular; bears well. We top graft in order to get good standard trees. 
It does not succeed on the quince, and in order to obtain dwarf trees it must be 
double worked. September and October. 75 cents.
