Bergamotte d'Avranches. 



De Jersey. 



Originated in France, near Avranclies, succeeds admirably on the 

 quince, forming a fine pyramid — not of the first quality, but profit- 

 able. Tree vigoi-ous, upright, very productive. Fruit of better quality 

 on the quince than on the pear. Young wood dull olive brown. 



Louise Bonne of Jei'scy. 



Fruit large, oblong pyriform, a little one-sided, glossy, pale green in 

 the shade, but overspread with brownish red in the sun, and dotted with 

 numerous gi-ay dots. Stalk about an inch long, curved, rather obliquely 

 inserted, without depression, or with a fleshy, enlarged base. Calyx 

 o})en, in a shallow, uneven basin. Flesh greenish white, very juicy and 

 melting, with a rich and excellent flavor. Good to very good. Sep- 

 tember and October.
