 aspects facing east or west, as in hot, dry positions they 

 are specially subject to red spider. For exhibition pur-

 Allington Pippin, James Grieve, Lady Sudeley, American 

 Mother, Roundway Magnum Bonum, and Cox's Pomona. 

 If late varieties are desired, Claygate Pearmain, Sturmer

 south and west walls in the northern counties. 



Early Pears succeed best on positions facing to the

 Souvenir du Congres, Marguerite Marillat, and Beurre 

 d'Amanlis are recommended. For positions facing west

 aspect, Doyenne" du Cornice, Emile d'Heyst, Easter Beurre, 

 and the delicious small Pear Winter Nelis ; and for use 

 after Christmas, Nouvelle Fulvie and Le Lectier. Catillac 

 and Bellissime d'Hiver, two good stewing Pears, may be
