HE summer Pear, here figured, is the Made- 
leine of the Pomological Magazine, and is some- 
times confounded with the Green Chissel, — a 
smaller, more globular, and inferior Pear. The 
Citron des Cannes is always esteemed as of good quality, and 
is valuable in its season — ripening, as it does, late in July or 
early in August ; but it must not be supposed as comparable 
with the delicious perfumed flavour, and melting buttery con- 
sistence of many of the winter Pears. The tree is a good bearer, 
either as a standard, dwarf, or on a wall ; and, as it ripens 
earlier in the latter situation, it is a desirable variety for those 
who can give it wall-room, with the intention of marketing the 
produce. It is sure of ready sale.
