Fig. 11. - Beurre Bachelier Pear.

This pear is comparatively new, and da-serves further trial. The tree is not considered a first-class grower, and perhaps would not bear neglect, but under good ordinary cultivation, succeeds well, and gives a fruit rich and delicious in quality and we think pleasant to every palate.
