MOST mmrn iif all dessert pejbs. HflRDy IN VERMONT AND GflNflDfl. QUflLIT/ TtiE BEST. GOOD SfllPFER. This pear is undoubtedly one of the few which will soon be known throughput the whole country, by the demand for its choice and beautiful fruit for use on the table and other purposes. It is a seedling pear, which was found on Grand Island, Lake Champlain. This proves its hardiness, and, in addition to this, it is a free grower, an abundant and annual bearer. The fruit ripens a little later than the Seckel, much excels that variety in size and beauty. In form the fruit is of full medium size, obovate, yellow, and covered on the sunny side with a bright carmine red, making it indeed a beauty. The flesh is rich, juicy, aromatic, best. It cannot do otherwise than stand at the head of our fall pears. The plate that is shown by our agents is an exact representation of the size and general appearance of the Vermont Beauty. See the letter of Dr. Hoskins on this point, and also other testimonials from men who are authorities on fruit matters. M. BARNES & CO., Groesbeck:, Ohiio, Hamilton Co. (over)
