Two Kinds of Pears.

1t is remarkable that although new
fruits come to the front every year there
is not pear yet that has been able to
take the place of the Bartlett or the
Seckel. The Bartlett is.a European sort,
originating in England ind named thers
Williams Bon Curetien. 1t was intro
duced into this country, and its name
getting lost it was named Bartlett. after
the man in whose garden it was when
its excellent qualities were discovered
The Seckel is a native, chance seeding
found growing near the Schuylkill river,
Philadelphia, and the original tree still
stanGs and bears fruit. -ces -t
The Bartlett is in season throughout
September, the Seclel from the close of
September and through October. These
two kinds are no exception to the rule
that the quality of all pears increases in
value as the trees get older. The fruit
from full grown Seckel pear tree. for
instance, is far superior to that from ID
tree fruiting for the first time.-Practi-
