beurre' d’aremberg. 
the cultivation of first-rate Pears : still, however, it can but be 
matter of regret, that the progress in this dkection is slow. It is 
not alone the mere enjoyment of partaking of the most delicious 
of fraits, amongst which the Pear truly ranks, or of dispensing it 
to Mends for the same purpose, but it is also in a commercial \iew 
that it may be expected to attract more direct attention. At 
the present moment in wliich we write (in January), the finest 
Oranges, brought to this country from Italy or Spain, can be 
bought for a penny each ; whilst the finest Pears of our own 
country are being sold at from threepence to sixpence each. 
This alone, it is reasonable to suppose, would give a stimulus to 
their production ; especially as a luscious Pear is as easily pro- 
duced as those crah-hke productions so generally met with in the 
provinces. 
The Pear here published w’as, with others, politely sent to us 
by J. Moorman, Esq., of Clapham, who usually meets high com- 
mendation for the varieties which he exhibits at the Horticul- 
tural Society’s rooms in London, in the early part of the year. 
The drawing of the BeuiTe d’Aremberg was made in Febmary, 
when it was in high perfection. The shape here shown is 
common enough to this Pear, although it is frequently seen less 
tapering towards the stem. Its yellow colour, and dotting with 
rasset, indicate con'ectly that which it possesses, — great rich- 
ness, sweetness, and delicious flavour. It is also very juicy, 
melting, and free from grit. 
Grafted on the quince stock this Beun'e attains its highest 
perfection ; and, although the finest fmit will be obtained from 
trees trained to a waU, of east or west aspect, still it succeeds 
perfectly well as a barrel dwarf, or pyramidal tree, to either of 
which forms it may be trained and kept of such convenient 
height as best accords with its situation in the garden. 
One rule we would here mention as having been forced on us 
by experience ; first form your tree, regardless of fniit, and then 
prune its roots, to restrain its growth and render it productive.
