JIiLLOT DE Nancy.—We have here a posthumous variety ofVan Mons, of which the earliest information we have is inIS-iS, when it wag named by the son of the Professor in honourof M. Millot, oi Nancy, an ardent pomologist. We have grownit for the last twenty years in this country, and proved it to beof the highest excellence. In some seasons, as for instance in1866, it was somewhat astringent in flavour, but generally ithas proved Millot de Nancy. f The fruit is roundish, inclining to turbinate, even and hand-some in its outline. The skin is smooth, of a uniform copperyred or warm cinnamon colour caused by a coating of russetover its whole surface, and dotted with ashen grey dote. Eyerather small and open, set almost level with the about an inch long, woody, fleshy at the base, straight,and obliquely inserted in a very slight depression. Fleshwhitish, half melting, very juicy and tender, rich, sweet, brisk,highly flavoured, and with a fine perfume. It is a first-rate Pear, ripe in October, and during November. PORTRAIT OF MR. RIVERS.
