STEVENS'S GENESEE. Fig. 236,. Tree of great vigor, young shoots dark gray, diverging, sub- ject to soui'-sap blight. A good bearer. Frniit above medium, round, obovate, light yellow, a little rough. Flesh white, half buttery, and juicy. Flavor fine rich aromatic. Ripens in September. This pear is said to be a native of Livingston county, and is one of the most valuable of the new pears which Western New York has furnished. It belongs to the class of Bergamot pears, of which hitherto there have been few good ones, except Gan- sell's. It, however, requires guarding against the risk of som*- sap blight, to which it is subject.
