132 FRUIT GARDEN. 



The Dumnore Pear comes into use before the Marie 

 Louise, and is nearly of equal excellence. 



Taylor''8 Seedling^ raised at Dunmore, is a good 

 pear, and so hardy as to succeed quite well as a 3tand- 

 ard. 



Napoleon, of excellent quality ; from a wall in No- 

 vember and December; and in January from standards, 

 on which it bears freely. 



DucJiesse d'Angouleme (or Precelf), a very large and 

 showy fruit, requiring a wall ; good in January and 

 February, and therefore valuable for lateness. 



BuerrS d'Jiremherg, — This pear, if carefully kept in 

 the fruit-room, will, in January, be found perfectly 

 melting and without grittiness, and rich, sweet, and 

 high-flavored. The tree is hardy, succeeding against 

 an east or a west wall, or as a standard in any shelter- 

 ed situation, and bearing freely. 



The Qrasanne is an old French sort, of excellent 

 quality, with a tender and finely-flavored pulp. The 

 tree deserves a south or west aspect on a wall, and it 

 succeeds also on an espalier rail. The fruit ripens in 

 November and December. 



The Althorp Crasanne is a first-rate pear, raised by 

 Mr. Knight, ripening in October and November ; flesh 

 melting, rich, and with a fine rose-water flavor. Suc- 

 ceeds on an east or west wall, or on standards in good 

 situations ; the fruit from standards being highest fla- 

 vored. 



The Urhaniste (often called Beurre Spence) is of a 

 large size, flesh melting, with a sweet, well-flavored 

 juice, and may be regarded as one of the very best 

 pears. In Scotland ripens against a south wall in Oc- 

 tober ; on standards in November.
