The two last are probably the best of all stewing pears, the last, 

 however, requiring a wall to develop its full size. 



The best dessert pears, and such sorts as the Vicar of Winkfiekl, 

 are likewise the very best for stewing, so that fewer kitchen pears are 

 grown than formerly..

A selection of Pears, where the space is very limited, or for Cottage 

 Gardens. Jargonelle, Dunmore, Marie Louise, Beurre de Capiaumont, 

 Beurre Diel, Louise Bonne of Jersey, Hacon's Incomparable, Glou 

 Morceau, Easter Beurre, and Beurre de Ranee. These are pears of first- 

 rate excellence, and they will all succeed as standards in any climate 

 where wheat can be brought to perfection, with the exception of the 

 Jargonelle, which requires a wall or espalier, even in the best climates. 

 Where there is only room in a cottage garden for one pear-tree, Hacon's 

 Incomparable, which is one of the best, and almost a constant bearer, may 

 have one branch or limb grafted with the Marie Louise, others with 

 the Easter Beurre, Glou Morceau, and Beurre de Ranee, which would 

 thus afford a succession of fruit of first-rate excellence from October 

 till March. The three last-named pears may be advantageously trained 

 against the walls of a cottage, or on a trellis raised about six inches 

 above its roof. The Jargonelle succeeds admirably against cottage 

 walls, with any aspect, in the centre or south of England, requiring, 

 however, a south or west aspect in the north. 



Pear trees of forms adap fed for Landscape Scenery. Glou Morceau, 

 a handsome pyramidal tree with spreading branches, hardy, a good
