egg failing to hatch. In growth it is strong and 
healthy, excelling even the Kieffer pear in early and 
profuse bearing. The fruit is very large, showy and 
beautiful, amber, turning to a rich cherry color with a 
white bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh light yel-

firmly to stone, brick or wood, in fact, to buildings of 
any material, and is entirely hardy. Foliage small and 
so exceedingly dense as to produce a verdant wall of 
the richest imaginable glimmering hue, varying from 
delicate pea to the deepest marine, and changing in 
autumn to one resembling flame in its brilliancy of 
carmine and gold. We will send four plants for two new 
subscribers, or seven plants for three subscribers, 
by mail postpaid.

greatest profusion. The flowers are from 4 to 5 inches 
in diameter, pearly white, delicately shaded rose and
