Cuttings of the following Pears were distributed : the Eye- 

 wood ; one of the many hardy and excellent varieties raised by 

 Mr. Knight, resembling a Bergamot in shape ; with yellowish 

 white, melting, buttery and highly flavoured flesh, and ripening in 

 October and November. In 1833, when other varieties of 

 Pears did not attain their usual excellence in Herefordshire, this 

 was found to be very good." 



Beurr^ d'Jmalis ; — A large obovate Autumn Pear, of the 

 colour of a Brown Beurre, which it also resembles in consist- 

 ence and flavour; but it is hardy enough to bear as a standard, a 

 property which the Brown Beurre, generally speaking does not 

 possess. 



Nelis d'Hiver ; — A middle sized fruit, not particularly adapted 

 for market growers, but its high flavour entitles it to a place in 

 every private garden in which Pears are cultivated. 



Cuttings of the following Apple were likewise distributed ; — the 

 Sudbury Beauty ; — a very handsome and excellent dessert apple, 

 raised some years ago by Dr. Maclean of Colchester. It has the 

 appearance of a well grown Downton j but the flesh is yellower 

 and more sugary. 



The following presents were announced : 



The Suburban Hoiticuliurist, Part IX. from the Editor, J. C. 

 Loudon, Esq.
