It seems to require a rather warm er climate than that of the eastern states, to arrive at full per- fection, and has disappointed the expectation of many cultiva- tors. It bears_well here, but is rather variable in quality. In good seasons, if packed away in boxes and ripened off in a warm room, it is a delicious, melting, buttery fruit. The tree grows upright, and thriftily, with reddish yellow shoots. It requires a warm exposure and a rich soil, to give fine fruit as an open standard tree. Fruit large, roundish-obovate, often rather square in figure. Skin yellowish-green,'sprinkled with many russetty dots, and some russet, which give it a brownish cheek in some specimens. Stalk rather short, stout, planted in an abruptly sunken, obtuse cavity. Calyx small, closed, but litt e sunk among the plaited folds of the angular basin. Flesh white, fine grained, very but- .tery, melting, and juicy, with a sweet and rich flavour. BLooseooD. Man. Early Beurrfi, of Shodgood.
