 Chinese parent. Fruit large and handsome, 

 bright yellow and red cheek ; flesh tender, 

 juicy and well flavored. It comes into bear- 

 ing at an early age. Ripens end of Sep- 

 tember or beginning of October. It is an 

 excellent sort for preserving. One year old

 per dozen; two year old trees, branched and

BARTLETT PEAR. This well known 

 variety, one of the finest pears in cultiva- 

 tion, has been successfully cultivated here, 

 but occasionally it has blighted. Since the 

 introduction of the Le Conte, trials have 

 been made with success, that is, by grafting 

 this and other fine varieties upon the Lc 

 Conte — by so doing the trees are imparted 

 with the vigor of the latter, growing strong- 

 er, and making finer and healthier trees.
