 used for baking, and if they can be gathered 

 sound late in the Autumn, they will be good 

 for that purpose through the winter ; it is a good 

 bearer, but being generally cultivated as stan- 

 dards, and the fruit growing so large, the high 

 winds are very apt to shake them off. 



24. Seckle ; this pear among the new varie- 

 ties is very much esteemed; it is of a middling 

 size, full of very fine sweet juice, and will bear 

 well as standards, is in eating about October. 



25. Maria Louisa; this is a very fine pear; 

 the flesh is melting and full of fine juice ; the 

 wood is weeping and best adapted for the wall : 

 at the present day it is esteemed as highly as 

 any of the new varieties, and will no doubt be 

 generally cultivated.
