PERRY PEARS. 



Dublin, gave the following results : — 



Density of fresh juice ... ... i"o36 



Ditto after 24 hours' exposure to air ... f04i 



100 parts of juice by weight, yielded of 



Sugar ... ... ... ... 8"4oo 



Tannin, Mucilage, Salts, &c. ... ... 4"i87 



Water ... ... ... ... 87'4i3 



The trees of this variety are very hardy and productive, since 

 the blossoms are extremely patient of cold and unfavourable 

 weather. The Perry is very high coloured and without fine flavour. 

 It is generally, however, free from sharp acidity, and more nearly 

 resembles cider than any other kind of Perry. It does not answer 

 for fining and bottling, but is excellent for ordinary use, either 

 alone or mixed with apples, and its hardy, prolific character, makes 

 it a general favourite.
