Harrison's N\irserie«, Berlin, Md. 



VICAR— I^arge, long; not always good quality, but desirable on account of its productiveness. 



I/INCOI/X COREI/BSS— Among the many new pears offered to the public, there is none but this 

 which possesses the wonderful quality of being prac- 



tically coreless. In season it is late, and the fruit is 

 picked when green and laid away to ripen. It will 

 keep for several months. Specimens have been 

 known to keep until March in an ordinary cellar. 

 Fruit large, quality very good, rich, luscious and 

 juicy, and pronounced excellent by all who taste it. 

 When ripe the skin is of a rich golden tint, and the 

 flesh is yellow. Tree a strong, healthy grower. They 

 are hardy, enduring the same climate that Bartlett will.

 t trees on Saturday and they were all right and S 

 It I was very much pleased with them. Yours t,
