THE FEAR. 339 



4. BEURRE HAGGERSTON. Man. 



No. 8 of Van Mons. Man. 



This is one of Van Mons' Seedlings, sent with others to our 

 American pomologist, the late Mr. Manning, with permission to 

 bestow a name. As it has not fruited here with us, we annex 

 Mr. Manning's description. 



" Medium size, oblong, obtuse at the stem, which is one inch 

 long ; colour yellow ; flesh juicy, sharp, agreeable and very 

 abundant." It will ripen here about the middle of August. 



5. BERGAMOT, EARLY. Thomp. Lind. P. Mag. 



A second rate, French sort. Fruit of medium size, roundish, 

 rather flattened, and a little angular towards the eye. Skin 

 pale yellowish-green, with a few streaks of dull red in the sun. 

 Stalk rather thick, a little more than an inch long, set in a shal- 

 low cavity. Calyx moderately sunk. Flesh quite juicy, crisp, 

 with a pleasant, sweet flavour. Ripe about the 20th of August. 



6. BERGAMOT, SUMMER. Thomp. Coxe. 



The Summer Bergamot is an old foreign variety, of small size, 

 find second quality, quite supplanted now by such sorts as the 

 Bloodgood, Dearborn's Seedling, &c. The tree is of feeble growth. 



Fruit quite small, round. Skin yellowish-green, becoming 

 brownish in the sun, and full of small russet Hots. Calyx set 

 in a wide basin. Flesh juicy, and pretty rich in flavour, but 

 quickly becomes mealy and dry. Last of July. 



There is a Large SUMMER BERGAMOT, cultivated in this coun- 

 try, quite distinct from the above. It resembles the Doyenne, 

 but is broader and rounder, dryer and inferiour in flavour. Skin 

 smooth, clear yellow, with very few dots. Stalk 1 1-2 inches 

 long, curved, set in a narrow, deep cavity. Basin narrow, deep, 

 smooth, with a small calyx. Flesh breaking and half "buttery, 

 not rich. September. The tree grows and bears finely.

Hampden's Bergamot is a strong growing, hardy tree, and a 

 handsome, showy fruit, sometimes as attractive as the Bartlett, 

 but of breaking texture, and not so high flavoured.
