This monarch of pear trees, rec- ognized by the United States départ- ment of agriculture as the oldest planted fruit tree in America, is ex- pected to bear its ushal yearly crop of one or two bushels. Its fruit is the small, ‘sweet, old-fashioned sugar pear.

The tree was set out by one of his early predecessors, Governor John Endecott, in 1631.
