Most of the new foreign pears, that have beenbrought to notice during the last eight or ten years,have been heralded with a great reputation, and have,in consequence, attracted more than usual attentionamong cultivators. Some of them have proved fullyequal to their reputed merits, while a larger part ofthem have only been of secondary quality, and a fewentirely worthless. Others, again, have been addedto our collections, of whose merits nothing wasknown, and from which no high expectations wereformed; but it has happened, in many instances, that the latter haveproved of the greatest excellence, and have taken their place among thechoicest pears.
