An old variety, desirable on account of its extreme earli- \ "ess : small, bell-shaped ; slight blush to the sun. June. JLe Coiite. Supposed to be a hybrid between the old Chinese Sand pear and a cultivated variety. Fruit large, pyriform : skin smooth : tree of remarkable vigor and rapid growth : foliage ; has so far been nearly free froni blight ; commences to bear early, and is extremely prolific : fruit ships well, and has been sold in the Boston and VXew York markets at very high prices ; quality variable.
