The following are Dessert kinds that succeed admirably as standards on good soils: Beacon makes a good tree, and crops freely; when the Pears are ripe in August, the tree is very effective, most of the fruit being highly coloured.

Belle Julie is not a very handsome or a large fruit, but the tree is a free bearer, and the fruit of very pleasing flavour. Beurre d'Aman- lis is excellent in flavour, and quickly develops into a large, spreading tree on good soil. Clapp's Favourite is a tremendous cropper on standard trees, and is much improved in flavour when in ^an open situation. Colmar d'Ete is another great bearer; the fruit is small but of exquisite quality. Dr. Jules Guyot is, like the last-named, a September Pear, but large, handsome, and a continuous bearer. Durondeau makes a splendid and fruitful tree, and should always be selected. Eye- wood Bergamot is another really first-rate variety, being hardy, strong, and a great bearer; its delicious fruit is ready about November. Elton is a September or October variety; the tree is hardy and vigorous, and the fruit of rich flavour. Louise Bonne de Jersey and Marie Louise d'Uccle are two October varieties, and are heavy bearers of large, handsome fruit. On warm soils Ne Plus Meuris is a desirable variety as a standard, fruit- ing freely, and ripening in February. The delicious little Seckle is a most pro- ductive variety, and well Worth planting. Aston Town is an old but'.
