This pear is a recent introduction in the South, and in appearance and growth of tree very closely resembles Le Conte. It has borne good crops in our grounds for three successive years. This year several of our three-year-old trees matured perfect specimens of fruit while standing in the nursery row, thus proving it to be an early bearer. It is larger than Le Conte and more uniform in size and color. In form it is obo- vate ; color greenish yellow, thicklv covered with small russet dots ; flavor much like Le Conte but richer and more melting ; it is ready for shipment at least two weeks earlier. We believe it is the best early mar- ket pear that we have yet fruited. Le Conte. Supposed to be a cross be- tween the Chinese sand pear and some American variety. A remarkable grower, large and beautiful ; early and prolific. Fruit large, bell-shaped, creamy yellow, juicy, not very rich. A good shipper ; grown in the South for the Northern markets, where it is in demand and usually brings good prices. Ripe July Please note that these images are extracted from s
