290 NOTES ON FLEMISH PEARS. 



named in Flanders Bosch Peer, which signifies literally 

 Poire des Bois or Wood Pear. The Belgium and French 

 pomologists have given it the name of Fondante des 

 Bois or Beurre des Bois. The variety named by the 

 late Dr. Van Mons in compliment to his friend Sir 

 Humphry Davy is quite another sort, much hardier, 

 and the fruit ripens in January and February. 



238. La Fortunee d' Enghien. This was obtained by M. Reumes, 

 an apothecary in a village near Enghien. It was pro- 

 pagated and sent out by the late M. Parmentier ; but it 

 is too delicate to deserve notice. 



250. Glout Morceau de Camhron. It ought to be written Glou 

 morceau, the word Glou is Walloon, and signifies friand 

 in French, as Friand Morceau, delicious bit, or delicious 

 morsel. The name of Glou Morceau de Cambron is 

 given by the common people to the Beurre d' Hardenpont 

 [Glou Morceau] of which a strong specimen, grown on 

 the pear stock, against a wall of the ancient Abbey 

 of Cambron, facing the south-west, bears very fine 

 fruit. 



269^. Henri Caperon. (Van Mons.) Should be written Henri 

 Capron. 



287^. Josephine de Malines. (Esperen.) This variety is totally 

 distinct from the Colmar Nelis ; but like the latter it 

 requires to be cultivated on a wall with a good aspect. 



287^ La Juive. (Esperen.) 



293^. Lamartine. (Van Mons.) Should be De la Martine. 



293*. Laure de Glymes. (Collection Van Mons.) Rather a 

 weak-growing variety. 



297^ Louise de Boulogne. (Van Mons.) 



299^^, Louise d'Orleans. (Van Mons.) Syn, Reine des Beiges. 



300^ Lucien Le Clerc. (Van Mons.) 



309^ Marechal de la Cour. (Van Mons.) 



3ll\ Miel de Waterloo. (Van Mons.) Syn. Desire de Waterloo. 



31 P. Millot de Nancy. (Van Mons.) See Note at 23 i^ Fon- 

 dante de Millot. 



323. Napoleon. (Liard.) Raised from seed by M. Liard, of 

 Mons. This Pear is generally called (in Belgium) Bon 

 Chretien Napoleon, because its form is that of the type 

 of the Bon Chretiens, which is a distinct form between 

 the Bergamottes and the Colmars. 



325. Nelis, Winter. Read Colmar Nelis.
