In gro%vth it is so strong and handsome as to render it worthy of being planted as an orna- mental tree, equaling in thrift and beauty the Kieffer Pear, which it even excels in early and profuse bearing. Its propensity to early bearing is such that it loaxis in the nursery row, bending the limbs with weight of fruit imtil they sometimes break, and this is the case every year. The curculio having no effect upon it, the eggs failing to hatch and produce the destructive grub the same as with the Spaulding. The fruit is very large, sho'W'y and beautiful. Amber, turning to a rich, bright, cherry color with a decided white bloom and highly perfumed Season early—August. Stone small and parts readily from flesh. Price, mail or express
