History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
and cabinet maker. The Romans had twenty-two varieties, and there are now several hundreds in Britain 
and France, and some excellent sorts from America. They are usually divided into dessert, baking, and cyder 
fruits ; the first high flavored, the second such as fall or become mellow in baking or boiling, and the third 
austere, and generally fruits of small size. Besides this division, apples are classed as pippins or seedlings, 
pearmains or somewhat pear-shaped fruits, rennets or queens, specked fruits, calvilles or white-skinned 
fruits, russets or brown fruits, codlings or falling fruits, and burknots, which grow readily by cuttings. Most 
sorts of apple form ugly trees as standards, but are otherwise very ornamental in shrubberries from their 
blossoms. The crabs, and especially the varieties obtained from ihe Siberian crab, form much the handsomest 
heads, and have also more brilliant blossoms. The apple may be propagated by layers, and many sorts by 
cuttings; but the usual mode is by grafting on crab-stocks, and for dwarfing on stocks of the paradise 
apple. 
P. communis, Poirier, Fr., Birnbaum, Ger., and Pero, Ital., is a fruit-tree next in popularity and value to 
the apple tree. It is a greatly superior dessert fruit, but not so valuable for culinary purposes and the press. 
There are fewer good sorts of pears, in proportion to the number of current varieties, than of apples ; but a 
few, as the Jargonelles, Bergamots, Beurrees, Chaumontelles, &c. are most exquisite dessert fruits, and are 
much easier of digestion than the apple. It arrives in greater perfection in France and the north of Italy 
than in England. The Chaumontelles of Guernsey are in high repute, as are the St. Germain's and other sorts 
of Picardy, and the Beurrees of Milan. The Romans had thirty-six varieties, and there are many hundreds 
in the French and British nurseries, most of them good for little. Professor Van Mons, of Brussels, and 
M. Duquessie, of Mons, fruited about 8000 seedling pears, from which they obtained nearly 800 sorts worth 
cultivating. {Ncill's Hort. Tour.) The varieties are divided into dessert and baking fruits ; and also into melting 
or butter pears, beurrees, Fr., breaking pears, crevers. Ft., and perry, poiree, Fr., fruits. The tree is grafted 
on seedlings of the same species, and for dwarfing and precocity on the quince. It is a much handsomer 
upright growing tree than the apple, more durable, and its wood hard and valuable for the turner and 
millwright ; but its blossoms being white, are less shewy than those of the apple. 
P. domestica, and the other species of service are very ornamental trees ; their leaves arc mostly white
