LAMY. This is an old European pear which had its probationary period in America many years ago, and which never got out of the hmbo of nurserymen's catalogs and collections. On the grounds of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, however, the pears are so handsome and so delectable in quality that the variety seems quite worth growing. It is a good sort for the home orchard, but the tree is not large enough nor robust enough for a commercial plantation. A few nursery- men still list it. This variety was raised from seed about 1828 by M. Bouvier, Jodoigne, Belgium.

Flowers late, very showy, 1 % inches across, in dense clusters, average 9 buds in a cluster. Fruit matures in late October and early November; 2% inches long, 2 inches wide, obo^ate-obtuse-pyriform, often irregular and with unequal sides; stem 1^ inches long, thick; cavity almost lacking, very shallow, narrow, russeted, often lipped; calyx open; lobes broad, acute; basin deep, obtuse, gently furrowed, compressed ; skin thin, smooth except for the russet dots, dull ; color pale yellow, with a dark red blush on the cheek; dots numerous, large, brownish-russet, very conspicuous; flesh tinged with yellow, granular at the center, tender and melting, butt
