Flemish Beauty Remarkable for its
fair and attractive appearance, combined
with fine favor. II there IS any defect
in this pear il is in its slight lack OF high
favor when not grown under the most
favorable circumstances, Fail on the
ounce.
| Belle Lucrative. an eminent po-
molugist remarked, ",ohen ,his pear is
| hue, il is pery 6ne;" but it not unfre-
quenily falls to an inferior quality. The
best specimens p'obatlv appr' ach as near
perfection for a truly delicious pear as any
10 be found.
The White Doycnne, (or VIgulieu, of
New York Butter Pear of Pennsylvania +,
and 81. Michael of New England)
although i, fails in some pats OF the east
elm States, is considered as the most val.
liable Of all pears, all it's qualities c"nsid-
cred, in central and western New York,
and succeeds finely at the west. The
Grand Doyenne is similar to it in quality
The Dogenne Boussock is newly-impor.
led variety, resembling it in quality and
appearance, but of a larger size. 1,' p
Beurre Oiel.-Large, rich but rather
coarse; riponing quite late in autumn.
WINTER FEARS.
The Bemre d. Aremberg, (or Armberg)
and the Wink field, 70, Vicar Of WINK
feld,) stand first for prducliveness; the
Winter Neles for higher favor.
The Easter Benrre is the best long
keeping sort, ripenihg in spring: the tree
needs high cultivation. The Goat Nor
ceau, Lepis and Princes, 81. Germain,
are also fine winter pears. The Chau.
monsel is an excellent old pear, but needs,
at The north, The warmest and rich est
soil for the development ofits good quail
tiles.
The following succeed best on the
ounce Louise Bonnie Of of Jersey, Beur.

Wnk6eld. Long Green Of Autumn,
| Gout Morceau, Chaumou,el, Easter
Benrre, Tyson, and Beurre d'Ameils.
No fruit suffers more in quality from
bad cultivation ,han the pear; and cinter
pears are rendered nearly worthless if
neglected Unless they grow in good,
deep soil, they cannot perfect their fl ,vor.
II The season is cold, the frnit will moi
attain maturity before the cold weather
of autumn, unless subjected 10 the best
treatment; or, ifthe soil be dry, Its growth
will be checked Until too late to ripen we'll.
Hence good management, even under
an unpropi,ious sun, will GENERALLY
give us much better winter pears
than the most favorable skies wi,hou, it..
Manure, with small proportion Of ashes,
vi wwked into soil, will impart vigor
and mulching, in connexioa
digging, will preserve the
any season Of drought.

Nomy ofall the labor
