Summer Beurri^ dAremberg. — We have often heard from the lips ofMr. Rivers a flattering account of this new seedling pear of his, which fruitedfor the first time two or three years ago ; but from the fact of it being an earlypear, and soon past, circumstances have hitherto prevented us from formingour own opinion of its merits. Fortunately, this season, some of the fruit hasreached us in perfect condition; and from those now before us we furnish afigure and description of this new fruit. The size, as will be seen by the figure,is not large ; and the form is somewhat turbinate, or short obovate, even in its. outline. Skin of a lemon color, slightly veined with cinnamon-colored russet,with a patch of the same here and there, and particularly so round the stalk ;eye very small, frequently wanting, and set very deeply in a deep and narrowbasin ; stalk upwards of an inch long, and inserted in a small, round cavity;flesh tender, melting, juicy, brisk, and with a fine, sprightly, vinous, and per-fumed flavor. The fruit does not keep long, as it rots at the core shortly afterbeing gathered : but the variety is a desirable sort at this season ; and, if gath-ered before it is perfectly ripe, it will, no doubt, keep much longer after beinggathered.
