Beurre Spence, (erroneously.). In good soils and open situations, the Flemish Beauty is cer- tainly one of the most superb pears in this climate. We have seen specimens, grown on the banks of the Hudson, the past sunimer, which measured twelve inches in circumference, and were of the finest quality. The tree is very luxuriant, and bears early and abundantly j the young shoots upright^ dark brown. It should be remaiked, however, that the fruit requires to bo gathered sooner than most pears, even before it parts readily from the tree. If it is then ripened in the house, it is always fine, while, if allowed to mature on the tree, it usually becomes soft, flavourlsBs, and decays soon. ,;.
