2 24 PERRY PEARS. 



Knock Down. — A mid-season variety in the valley of the 

 river Froome. It makes excellent perry, very like Barland. Is 

 fined for bottling, and generally turns out well. 



Long Stalk. — Makes excellent perry, as pleasant as sherry. 

 Trees large, with fine limbs, as large as Moorcroft. Will grow 60 

 kipes (30 bushels) of fruit to a tree. 



Dymock Red, and Turner's Barn Pear. — Two local 

 varieties, in much repute near Ross. 



Gin Pear. — Very like Barland, supposed to be equally good 

 for gravel, and hence perhaps its name. 



Lumberskull. — A great bearer. Makes a strong, rough perry, 

 which turns dark coloured on exposure to air. 



Sow Pear. — A very late Worcestershire pear. Makes a rich 

 strong perry, but not of agreeable flavour. A very old variety. 



Black Horse Pear, and White Horse Pear. — Make a 

 rough coarse perry, turning black on exposure to air. 



Vintage Favourite ; White Moorcroft ; Gregg Pear ; 

 Sack Pear ; Mill Pear ; Norton Butt, &c., &c., &c., are
