because it is characterised as a crisp fruit, which this 

 never is ; for a similar reason, the Bergamotte de 

 Pentecote of Van Mons's Arbres Fruitier s is omitted, 

 that writer speaking of its musky flavour, a quality 

 unknown in the subject of these remarks. 



It is observed by M. Noisette, that he thinks 

 his Bergamotte de la Pentec6te is the same as the 

 Beurree' Ranee of the Flemings. In this, however, 

 he is certainly mistaken, as will be shewn in a 

 future number of this work. 



A most profuse bearer grafted upon the Quince, 

 and is no doubt perfectly hardy. If it has a wall, 

 an eastern aspect would suit it well. 



WOOD reddish-yellow, sprinkled with distinct 

 whitish spots. 



LEAVES oblong, folded together. 



FLOWERS early, very abundant, middle-sized. 

 PETALS oval, not imbricated. 



FRUIT large, roundish oblong, broadest towards 

 the EYE, which is sunk in a moderately deep de- 

 pression. STALK short, thick, sunk in a deep 

 cavity. SKIN green, speckled with russet-brown ; 

 when ripe becoming yellowish. FLESH whitish, 

 inclining to yellow, perfectly buttery and melting, 

 and extremely high flavoured.
