(XV2) on the other. But they are above the average in quality, and since no other variety is so easily grown, nor so reliable in the markets, Bartlett promises long to hold its supremacy for home and commercial plantations. It is the most desired of all pears by the canning trade. This pear was found as a wilding by a Mr. Stair, a schoolmaster at Aldermaston, Berkshire, England. It was first introduced to this country in 1797 or 1799 under tlie name of Williams' Bon Chretien, by which name it is known both in England and France. In 1817 Enoch Bartlett, Dorchester, Massachusetts, al- lowed the pear to go out under his own name. Henceforth it became known in America ex- clusively as Bartlett. Tree medium in size, with age becoming tall and pyriform, upright; branches stocky, smooth, reddish- brown with few lenticels. Lea
