LECONTE, OR CHINESE SAND PEAR
TNHIS fruit is Of q different type from our
L common pears. 1t Is no doubt Of foreign
origin, but seems to have been Intended by
nature to be q blessing to the Southern peo-
pie. The tree grows like magic, has no dis-
ease. seems to be perfectly independent Of
circumstances, grows on rich or poor soil,
sand or clay, on hills or land. Bears the third
year after planting. Fruit large and perfectly
superb. Can be shipped to any distance. The
tree will grow from q cutting, and will also
grow readily on any other pear stock We
have known this tree to grow ten feet high
the first year from d cutting, and besides
being prolific bearer, is highly ornamental.
1t has the advantage over all other pears for
marketing, as 1t ripens first Of all that are val
liable for market. Considering all its merits,
it stands pre-emineutly at the head of the
pear list.
