HACON'S INCOMPARABLE (Doicnlmm Seedling). Frwt, medium 

 sized ; roundish. Skin, pale yellowish green, with a mixture of brown, 

 covered with numerous russety spots and markings of russet. Eye, 

 small and open, with short narrow segments, set in a shallow basin. 

 Stalk, an inch long, stout, and inserted in a wide shallow cavity. 

 Flesh, white, buttery, and melting, with a rich, sweet, vinous, and 

 musky flavour. 



A dessert pear of excellent quality; in use from November to 

 January. The tree is hardy, vigorous, and a good bearer, and succeeds 

 well as a standard. 



This esteemed variety is said to have been raised by Mr. J. G. Hacon, of 

 Downham Market, Norfolk, about the year 1815, from a seed of a variety known 

 in that county as Raynor's Norfolk Seedling. But another account states that 

 the original tree was found in a yard behind a baker's house, and no one knew 

 by whom it was planted.

HAMPDEN'S BERGAMOT (Belle d'Aout; Belle et Bonne; Belle 

 di' BruxeHes ; Belle sans Pepins ; Beuzard ; Belle de Luxembourg ; 

 Bergamotte de Bruxelles ; Bergamotte d'Ete Grosse; Bergamotte de 

 P ay sans ; Ellanrioch ; Fanfareau; Fingals ; Gracieuse; Great Berga- 

 mot ; Scotch Bergamot). Fruit, large, three inches wide, and two and a 

 half high ; roundish, and narrowing abruptly to the stalk, even and 

 regular in its outline. Skin, pale yellowish green, covered with 

 numerous russety and green spots, and sometimes with a tinge of 

 brownish red next the sun. Eye, open, set in a wide saucer-like basin. 

 Stalk, long and slender, fleshy at the base, and inserted in a narrow 

 cavity. Flesh, white, rather coarse-grained, buttery, sweet, and 

 pleasantly flavoured. 



A second-rate pear ; ripe in September, and which soon becomes 

 mealy. The tree is hardy, an abundant bearer, and bears well as a 

 standard. It succeeds well on the quince stock, and if grown against 

 a wall produces fruit of an immense size. Mr. Blackmore calls it " a 

 handsome but poor pear ; a sure bearer." 



There is another variety, much smaller, which is also called Hampden's Bergamot, 

 and this is, I think, Summer Franc Real.
