Calyx small, in a shallow basin. Flesh yel- lowish white, rather coarse grained, and somewhat gritty ; flavour notunlike the butter. Ripe, 10th August to mid- dle September. It is a fine bearer, never cracks, and may be classed among the good American pears. Moyamensing. (Smith's Early But- ter.) (Fig. 112.) This is supposed to be a native. It stands in the garden of Mr. J. B. Smith, Philadelphia, is 28 thirty feet high, open in growth, and uniformly sheds its leaves early in August. The fruit vary in shape—some are roundish, others obovate : colour, a uniform light yellow. Stem an inch long, in some specimens set in a shal- low basin, in others rising from the crown with a fleshy and enlarged base. Calyx rather prominent, in a shallow plaited cup. Ripe from middle July to close of August. The texture is but- tery, so much like a Beurre as to have received the above synonym. It is a desirable variety.
