GOLDEN KNAP. This is a very small roundish-turbi- 

 nate russety pear, of no great merit. It is grown ex- 

 tensively in the orchards of the border counties and 

 in the Carse of Gowrie ; and, being a prodigious and 

 constant bearer, is well adapted for orchard planting 

 where quantity and not quality is the object. Hipe in 

 October.

 inch and a quarter long, thick and fleshy, swelling out at 

 the base into the substance of the fruit. Flesh white,
