The finest pear of it& season, and worthy of special attention. Ripens latter part of August. 75 cents each. (See cut.). PETITE MARGUERITE. Souvenir du Congres—Large to very large, larger than Bartlett or Clapp's Favor- ite to which it bears a strong resemblance (we have had specimens which weighed 27 ounces and which measured fourteen inches in circumference); skin smooth, bright yellow when the fruit is fully matured, with the parts exposed to the sun brilliant red or carmine. The flesh, while it is like that of the Bart- lett, is free from its strong musky aroma, and is firm to the core. It commences to ripen in August, a little before the Barllett, and extends into September. The fruit grows sometimes singly but generally in clusters of two and three from the same bud, and hangs firmly. The tree is a moderate grower, and to obtain good standard and dwarf trees we are obliged to work it upon strong- growing sorts. On account of its size, quality and earliness, it is entitled to a, place among the best pears. Double worked standard or dwarf trees, $1 each. *Tyson—Rather above medium size •, melting, juicy, sweet and pleasant. Tree very vigorous and rapid grower; one of the best summer varieties. Origin Jenkintown, Pa. August. CLASS il.—SELECT AUTUMN PEARS. Belle Lucrative (Fondante d'Automne)—Large ; melting and sweet. A free^ upright grower, and bears early and abundantly.
