a greenifli Yellow j the Stalk is long 

 and {lender, and the Fiefli \s but- 

 tery and melting, and generally tull

 tail, i. e. The Gate Pear. This 

 Fear was difcover'd in the Province 

 of FoitoUt where it was fb much 

 efteem'd, that they preferr'd it to 

 mofl other Fruit ; tho', in the Opi- 

 nion of the moft curious Judges, 

 it does not defer ve the great Cha- 

 rafter which is given to it, for it 

 rarely happens that it proves good 

 for eating, being generally dry, 

 ftony, and hard, unleis in extraor- 

 dinary Sealbns, and upon a very 

 good Soil. This mult always be 

 grafted on a free Stock, and lliould 

 be planted on a light rich Soil, and 

 in very dry Seafons the Trees fhould 

 be water'd, orherwiie the Fruit 

 will be ftony. It is in Scafon from 

 January to March, and bakes well.
