2Q2 THE HEATHCOT PEAR. 



Mr. Gore, very properly, named it the Heathcot, to record the name of tlie 

 gardener who sowed the seed. The tree is hardy, but not a rapid grower, 

 its branches are slender and thick, making a compact or bushy head. It is 

 not an early bearer, but when the tree becomes matured it produces a 

 yearly crop. On the quince it is found not to succeed.
