238 PEARS. 



ameter. Stalk half an inch long, inserted in a shallow cavi- 

 ty. Skin a bright reddish-orange russet. Flesh yellowish 

 white, sugary, and rich ; it is . in some seasons perfectly 

 melting, but occasionally is a little gritty. 



It is in perfection in October. 



This succeeds equally well upon the Pear and the Quince. 



The Princess of Orange is a very handsome and desira- 

 ble autumn Pear. It was raised in ] 802 by the Comte de 

 Coloma, as we learn from the Hort. Trans. 



59. Swiss BERGAMOT. JVKHer, No. 33. 

 Bergarn,otte Suisse. Duhamel, 47. t. 20. 



Fruit middle-sized, somewhat turbinate, and pinched in 

 towards the stalk ; about two inches and a half long, and 

 two inches and a quarter in diameter. Eye small, in a shal- 

 low depressed basin. Stalk three quarters of an inch long, 

 slender, a little warted, inserted in a small oblique cavity. 

 Skin green, striped with red, turning yellow as it ripens. 

 Flesh melting, and full of juice, but not so high flavoured as 

 in other Bergamots. 



Ripe the end of September and beginning of October. 



This succeeds equally well on the Pear and the Quince. 



60. VARIEGATED CRASANKE. 



Crasanne Penachee. Duhamel, No. 50. t. 23. 



Fruit scarcely differing from the Crasanne described be- 

 fore, of which it is a variety. The branches are not so 

 strong, and the leaves have a very lively appearance, the en- 

 tire margin, of each being of a pale yellow when they first 

 expand, and become white when fully grown. 



It makes a very handsome appearance in the shrubbery 

 among other ornamental trees : but its fruit can only be ob- 

 tained by planting it against a warm wall.

 bossment at its insertion. Skin yellow on the shaded side, 

 but of a beautiful red, with numerous darker dots, where ex-
