PEA 
ovate, pale brown, covered with specks 
of russet; stalk short and slender; eye 
small and shallow; flesh melting, very 
sweet and excellent; ripe in October. 
Syn. Norris’s Pear. 
King Edward’s. Large, pyriform, pale 
yellow in the shade, gradually changing 
to bright shining red on the side next 
ths sun; stalk long, and rather slender; 
eye moderate and shallow; flesh but¬ 
tery and excellent; in season through 
September and October. A beautiful 
and high-flavoured variety; the tree is 
vigorous and hardy, and a good bearer. 
Lewis. Medium size, obovate, pale green; 
stalk short and stout; eye small and 
sunk; flesh buttery, and filled with 
rich sugary juice; in season from No¬ 
vember to January. An excellent va¬ 
riety ; succeeds well as a standard. 
Louise Bonne de Jersey. Large, regu¬ 
larly pyriform, pale green in the shade, 
brownish-red, dotted with gray on the 
outer side; stalk short, curved, and 
obliquely attached; eye large and shal¬ 
low; flesh buttery, rich, and excellent; 
in season through October and No¬ 
vember. The tree is hardy, and does 
well as a standard, almost anywhere. 
This variety is far superior to either 
the Louise Bonne or Louise Bonne 
d’Angers. Syn. Beurre ou Bonne 
Louise d’Arandore, Louise Bonne 
d’Avranches, William the Eourth. 
Mansuette. Large, oblong, tapering 
slightly towards the stalk, pale green 
in the shade, brown, with a few patches 
of russet on the sunny side; stalk long 
and stout; eye large and rather de¬ 
pressed ; flesh tender and juicy. Pipe 
about the end of September; succeeds 
as a standard in favorable places. Syn. 
Beurre de Semur, Solitaire. 
Marie Louise. Large, oblong, often tur¬ 
bid on one side, yellow on the under 
side, and light brown on the other, 
thinly dotted with russet all over; 
stalk rather short, stout, and obliquely 
attached; eye small and shallow; flesh 
buttery, and filled with delicious vi¬ 
nous juice; in season from October 
till the middle of December. The tree 
bears well as a standard in a good po¬ 
sition, and very fine fruit may be taken 
from a north wall. Syn. Braddick’s 
Field Standard, Eorme de Marie 
Louise, Marie Chretien, Princesse de 
Parme. 
Monarch, Knight’s. Large, obovate, 
yellowish-brown, tinged with dull red, 
and spotted with gray; stalk short and 
stout; eye small and shadow; flesh 
buttery, and very rich, with a slight 
musky flavour ; ripe in January. The 
tree is hardy, and a good bearer: it 
may be known from a spurious variety 
by the yellowish hue of the shoots, the 
latter having them of a violet colour. 
Napoleon. Large, obtuse pyriform; 
broad, and sometimes turbinate near 
the eye; stalk short and stout; eye 
small and deep; flesh melting, juicy, 
and rich. The colour of the fruit, when 
first gathered, is pale green, tinged 
with brown on the outer side, but it 
should not be used till changed to a 
pale yellow; in season through No¬ 
vember and December. In favorable 
situations may be grown as a standard, 
but is more frequently planted against 
a west wall. Syn. Medaille, Boi de 
Borne, Wurtemburg. 
Nelis, Winter. Of medium size, obovate, 
pale green, changing to yellow, tinged 
with brown on the outer side; stalk 
of moderate length, stout; eye large 
and shallow; flesh buttery, full of juice, 
and very excellent; in season through 
December and January. May be grown 
as a standard, though the fruit is much 
finer from a wall, which it well deserves. 
Syn. Beurre de Malines, Bomie de 
Malines, Etourneau, La Bonne Mali- 
noise, Milanaise, Cuvelier, Nelis 
d’Hiver. 
Ne Plus Meuris. Medium, roundish, 
with a turbid uneven surface, dull 
brown, with a few patches of russet, 
assuming a yellow tinge as it becomes 
ripe; stalk short and stout; eye small 
and deep; flesh buttery, and exceedingly 
rich; in season through December and 
January. This is by no means a hand¬ 
some fruit, but its excellent flavour 
should ensure it a place in every garden. 
It does best against a wall. 
Passe Colmar. Large, obovate, often 
swollen near the eye, pale green, with
