Succeeds admi- rably as a standard or dwarf. The finest pear of its season and worthy of special attention. Ripens latter part of August, (See cut.) 75c. Souvenir du Congres—Large to very large, larger than Bartlett or Clapp's Favorite, to which it bears a strong resemblance (we have had specimens which weighed 27 ounces and which measui-ed 14 inches in circumference); skin smooth, bright yellow when the fruit IS fully matured

Souvenir du Congres—Large to very large, larger than Bartlett or Clapp's Favorite, to which it bears a strong resemblance (we have had specimens which weighed 27 ounces and which measui-ed 14 inches in circumference); skin smooth, bright yellow when the fruit IS fully matured, with the parts exposed to the sun brilliant red or carmine. The flesh, while it is like that of the Bartlett, is free from its strong musky aroma, and is firm to the core. It commences to ripen in August, a little before the Bartlett, and extends into September. The tree is a moderate grower, and to obtain good standard and dwarf trees we are obliged to work it upon strong growing sorts. On account of its size, quality and earliness, it is entitled to a place among the best pears. (See cut.) 75c. Summer Doyenne (Doyenne d'Ete)^-A beautiful, melt- ing sweet pear, rather small. Tree a vigorous grower and good bearer. First of August. 50c. *Tyson^Rather above medium size ; melting, juicy, sweet and pleasant. Tree very vigorous and rapid grower; bears abundantly every year; one of the best summer varieties. August. 50c,.
