The fruits of America : containing richly colored figures, and full description of all the choicest varieties cultivated in the United States . TEE GOLDEN BETJM OE BILEOA PEAE., Pi-ulls of ATnPTica.,PTcttb M. Drawn froni J^Taliivp & CKromo hv^K. ^ha^ THE GOLDEN BEURRE^ OF BILBOA. loLDEN Beuree OF BiLBOA. Keiiiicks American Orchardist. Golden Beurre, of some English Bilboa, of some American Collections. Few of our eaily autumn pears have a moreprepossessing appearance than the Golden Beurreof Bilboa. Its skin is unusually smooth and fair,and its golden yellow hue, so indicative of its name,is made yet the more rich in contrast with the/ deep blotch of cinnamon russet which encircles itsstem, and whose outer line is lost in the dehcatetracings and dottings which radiate from it. Butthe great beauty of the Golden Beurre of Bilboa,as with some pears, is not its only merit. Inde-pendent of this it is really a most excellent fruit, having a fine meltingflesh, a vinous juice, and a pleasant flavor; add to these a vigorous andhandsome growing tree, producing abundant crops, and a fair estimatemay be formed of this desirable pear. The Golden Beurre of Bilboa was first introduced into Americancollections by Mr. J. Hooper
