We have just ripened the Chinese Sand Pear, says a Southern gentleman, which, in addition to its great beauty, bids fair to be a very useful variety of fruit. It was imported from China, we were informed, and the few specimens which were matured in the North cracked very badly. With us it is the most beautiful production afforded by the orchard. In shape globular, obtuse pyriform; size large; skin golden yellow, dotted over regularly with russet specks. When fully ripe its flesh is crispy and tender, with a peculiar flavor, resembling that of the quince. It is an admirable baking and preserving fruit. The tree is very ornamental and vigorous, with large, dark luxuriant foliage, and it grows well, both on the pear and quince stocks. The only drawback is its very early blooming, which frequently causes the failure of the crop. It will, however, he admirably adapted to the more southern regions of our country, where pears do not flourish well. We know nothing of its origin, further than that we received it as imported from China and its habit, as well as novelty of appearance, proves it a "tree celestial." - Southern Paper.
