Excerpt from General Descriptive Catalogue and Price List: Season of 1895-96, Specialties Nuts, Prunes and Grapes, New Varieties of Prunes, Cherries, Pears, Apples, Walnuts and Grapes, Recently Introduced From France, to Be Fully Tested Before Putting Them on the Market

Triomphe De Vienne. - Another of our finest newly-introduced pears. Very large, more elongated than Bartlett; nice shape; not buttery, but with a grain like the Duchess of Angouleme; it ripens wi'h the Bartlett. Put up, it is much nicer than the latter, as it is firmer, and does not get mushy as buttery pears are liable to get.

Andre Desportes. - The earliest pear we have found yet; latter part of June.

Doyenne De Paris. - Pretty little pear, twice as large as Sugar Pear; yellow, with red cheek; quite early.
