As it is a good shipper there is nothing, perhaps, that can be planted by the fruit grower (particularly at the south) that will yield such lucrative returns. The original tree, now supposed to be over one hundred years old, sprouted in the cleft of a rock on a farm formerly belonging to John Law- son, in Ulster county, New York, where it still stands; during its long life it has never been affected with blight or other disease, nor injured by insects, always main- taining perfect health and vigor. The fruit may be described as exceedingly large for an early pear, and cannot be surpassed in point of color, which is a most beauti- ful crimson on a bright yellow ground. The flesh is crisp, juicy and pleasant, but not of high quality. The tree is a good grower, a prolific annual cropper and begins bearing young. Ripens middle of July. Washington. Of medium size; beautiful, and a very good pear; a native of Delaware; tree a moderate grower and a good bearer. September. AUTUMN FEARS Beurre d' Anjou. Large; light greenish, with russet, shaded with dull crimson next to the sun; rich, melting, fine vinous flavor; it is a fine, vigorous grower, both on pear and quince; productive. October and November. Beurre Clairgeau. Very large, sometimes weighing twenty ounces; a cinnamon rus- set with a reddish cheek; melting, very juicy, sprightly flavor; a splendid variety.
