DEWBERRY. PYRTJS {'Pea,T.)—Co?itunted. Le Conte. Supposed to be a hybrid be- tween the old China Sand Pear and a cultivated variety. Fruit large, pyriform ; skin smooth, pale yellow% quality good ; tree of remarkable vigor and rapid growth. Matures in July and August. 40 cents each, $4 per dozen. \ Keiffer. A supposed cross between tlie China Sand and Bartlett. Tree resem- bles the above; fruit superior to the Le Conte. Maturity September to October. Very proHfic, and frequently blossoms at two years old. Two year old Keifter bloomed this year for us in the nursery row, profusely, and one little tree is hold- ing a pear, which, at this writing, Julv 25, is nearly full grown. 75 cents each, $7 per dozen, strong. PYRUS Cydonia. (Cydonia vulgaris.) The Quince. Some varieties of the Quince grow and bear fruit exceedingly well in South Florida. The best we have seen is of the fol- lowing variety : Orang-e. Fruit large, round ; valuable for preserving; luxuriant grower. 25 c. each. RUBUS trivialis. The Dewberry. This native fruit has been much neglected, and, it is our opinion, will pay better than the straw- berry. The fruit is delicious, better than the best blackberry, and as large or larger. 10 cents each, $1 per dozen. VLucretia. This new Dewberry, of Virgin- ian origin, has succeeded exceedingly well with us during the past summer, and will doubtless prove of great value. 20 ^ ^ cents each, S2 per dozen. Mammoth. 25 cents each.
