For the home garden this pear is most desirable, not only for its good quality for dessertpurposes, but because it has no competitor in the last half of July. It should be gatheredbefore it is mellow to preserve its juiciness, for, if ripened on the tree, it becomes mealy andinsipid. Its very small size makes it undesirable in the commercial orchard, especialy nowthat we must compete with larger varieties from California which ripen earlier in that cimatethan they do with us. Origin, Dr. Van Mons, Professor at Louvain, Belgium, about 1823, at which time he hadon his grounds about 2,000 seedlings of merit. Tree, vigorous young shoots, light yellowish brown, of upright slender habit, an early andabundant bearer ; dwarf trees two years planted beginning to fruit ; succeeds as dwarf orstandard. Fruit, small, about l|x2 inches ; form, roundish, obovate ; color, green to lemon yellowwith brownish red check on the sunny side, and numerous grey dots ; stalk about an inch long,stout, attached in a very slight depression ; calyx, small, half open, in a shallow plaited basin. Flesh, white ; texture, fine, tender, juicy ; flavor, sweet and pleasant with slight annua. Quality, dessert, very good ; too small for cooking. Value, too small for a market pear, except in limited quantities. Season, loth to 30th of July. Adaptation, hardy in Southern Ontario ; fairly hardy in Bruce and Huron. 71 PEACHES. ALEXANDER.
