Previous to the introduction of such choice early varieties as Chambers, Wilder, Giffardand Clapps Favorite, the Dearborn was highly commended. Downing calls it, * a very admir-able early pear of first quality, succeeding Bloodgood, and preceding Bartlett; but it is nolonger to be commended for planting in the commercial orchard because of its small size.
