KIS'DS OF FRUITS. 175 



climate, a good soil, and a south aspect, in order to 

 have it in perfection. The tree, if not planted in 

 very good soil, and particularly if the season be but 

 inditlerent, often produces unshapely fruit, or a 

 mixture of diflerently shaped pears ; some being 

 longish, some roundish, and some having tlic bot- 

 tom of the stalk turned so as to resemble a horn. 



13. Gansdll's Ber^ajnot. — Differing little from the 

 autumn bergamot ; but said to be the siim.e thing, 

 improved by culture. It is a very Iiigh-ilavoured 

 fruit, when well ripened. 



14. Moorjoid Egg. — A very good high-flavoured, 

 rather large pear, and a very good bearer. It is 

 said to be originally Scotch. It is somewhat Qiz,""- 

 shaped. A good standard fruit, and a pretty good 

 keeper. 



15. Carnock; or Drummond. — An excellent, high- 

 flavoured pear, w^hen well ripened, but not very 

 juicy; brownish, longish, and rather small; and 

 will keep a few weeks. It is a common standard 

 pear in the Clydesdale orchards, and is a great bear- 

 er. It should be eaten before it gets mealy. 



16. IVarden. — There are several sorts of Wardens, 

 of which Parkinson's is the best. They are late 

 winter pears, good bearers and keepers, but only fit 

 for baking. 



17. Scots Bergamot. — This is a very ffood lar^-e 

 pear, a great bearer, and very proper for a standard. 



18. Longueville. — This is a longer, and, upon the 

 whole, a better fruit than the one last named, inso- 

 much that it keeps better ; but it is not so good a 

 bearer.
