Large, golden yellow ground, with bright red on sunny side; flesh juicy, melting, s\\'eet, of good quality. Keeps and ships well and is a valuable late pear. Ripe in February, but keeps in perfection till May. We exhibited beautiful specimens of it at the World's Fair in May, 1893. Tree a vigorous grower. $ New Winter Pear, Fred Baudry. A large, handsome, fine-flavored, late winter pear. Size medium to large ; oblong pyriform ; color yellow, with occasional blotches of russet; flesh yellow, tender, buttery, juicy, slightly gritty at core, solid and no evidence of rot; quality very good to best, a distinct flavor. Ripe a little after Josephine of Malines. A valuable late winter pear. $ New Winter Pear, Olivier Des Serres. A valuable late-keeping winter pear, ripening about the same time as the Josephine of Malines, and perhaps keeping longer, say till first of March. The fruit is of good size, roundish, averaging larger than Josephine. Flesh tender, juicy, melting; flavor distinct, excellent. In quality it ranks as very good to best. As the number of late-keeping, high-flavored pears is not large, this variety will be received favorably. $ New Winter Pear, P. Barry. One of the long-keeping Fox seedlings. Large, pyriform ; skin orange yello\\', covered with russet dots and blotches; flesh very juicy, buttery, fine grained; flavor sprightly, rich, excellent. The best late winter pear. Resembles Anjou in texture of flesh and Winter Nelis in color of skin and juiciness of flesh. Tree a poor grower and must be top-grafted. Ripe in April. We also exhibited fine specimens of this pear at the World's Fair latter part of May. This variety was offered for sale on fruit stands in New York city as late as June last
