which is a Uttle pertuaied. The Pears of this kind thnt 

 fall cff too foon tVofta the tree, though they b'ecomfc 

 Vcrin'kled, arc excellent. Bat this Pear in general is apt 

 to contraft the bad fmell -and tafte of any thing in its 

 neighbourhood ; for which reafon it fhould be kept 

 carefully at a difialitc from any thing ofi'enfive in frntll 

 or tade. This Pear ripened tlie beginning oii' NcveYnhc'r 

 1762, on a fouth-weit afpeded wall. The tree hr.s a 

 fhining bark, produces plenty of fmall regular wood- 

 branches, and makes a beautiful appearance on a wall, 

 when properly trained: it is no great bearer till old. 



No. 5. Cbajfery (Pyrus Jruflu globofo^ citriformey fia- 

 vefcenUj pnn^ato, in ore Uquefcentc^ /acchd'Tato^ odoratijji- 

 mo. To URN. La l^cjchaffi'ifie, QulNT.) is large and 

 long-fhaped like a lemon, of a yellow colour when rip't. 

 Their fubftance is fine, melting, and juicy, of a highly 

 perfumed and aromatic fweetnefs. This Pear ripened the 

 beginning of November i 762, on a fouth-eafi: afpecled 

 wall. The wood of the tree is weak, its branches arfe 

 few, and produced at a difl:ance from each other : it is 

 no great bearer till after it has (food fome years* when it 

 bears plentifully. It is only fit for a wa 1 in Scoilafidi to 

 which it is eafily trained, as it produces but few branches^ 

 and grows regularly, feldom producing any luxuriant 

 branches. 



No. 6. Amhretie (Pyrus fruBu glohofo, fefjlliy fermgi- 

 neOy in ore liquefcente, faccharato, odoratijp.mo. To URN. 

 VAmbrette, Quint.) is nearly as large as the Winter- 

 Thorn : it is round, and very various as to the length 

 and thicknefs of the ftalk. Its (kin, which is rough, and 

 of an iron colour when taken from the tree, becomes 

 yellow when ripe. Its flefti is tender, juicy, and free; 

 and its tafte is of a delicious fweetnefs, which is exalted 

 'oy an aromatic perfume. This Pear ripened the begin- 

 ning of No'-jember 1762, on a fouth-eaft afpedfed wail. 

 The tree produces few wood-branches, but many bear- 

 ing ones, of which number are many of the thorns that it 

 flioots out. It thrives well on a wall, as its wood is frnall 

 and weak: it is a conftant and great bearer. 



No. 7. Saint Germain (Py-us fru£iu longo, e viridi fla- 

 vefcentey in ore liquefcente, TourN. La Saint Germaifi, 

 Qtiwt.) is very large and long; t-hey are irregularly 



ihaped.
