The Aylton Red Pear makes a rough perry, but without 

 sufficient delicacy and richness of flavour, and sweetness, to gain for 

 it a high character. It is better to be used mixed with other varieties. 

 The trees are not large, and are thin in foliage, but are very 

 hardy. They blossom, bear freely, and ripen their fruit the middle 

 of October. When laden with clusters of red, rosy fruit, as is 

 commonly the case, the tree makes an attractive object in the 

 orchard. 



BARLAND PEAR. 



[Syn : Bosbury Pear ; Bareland, or Bearland Bear.] 



" What tho' the pear-tree rival not the worth 

 Of Ai-iconian Products ? yet her freight 

 Is not contemn'd. 



Chiefly the Bosbury, whose large increase 

 Annual in sumptuous banquets claims applause." 



Phillips' Cyder,
