t!6 PEARS. 



THOMPSON'S. Fruit medium sized, obovate. Skin 

 pale yellow, and considerably covered with, a coating and 

 dots of pale cinnamon-coloured russet. Eye open, set in 

 a shallow basin. Stalk an inch and a quarter long, in- 

 serted in an uneven cavity. Flesh, white, buttery and 

 melting, very juicy, exceedingly rich and sugary, and 

 with a fine aroina. 



One of our best pears. Ripe in November. The tree 

 is quite hardy, an excellent bearer, and succeeds best on 

 the pear stock. 



TILLINGTON. Fruit about medium size, short pyriform, 

 rather uneven in its outline. Skin smooth, greenish- 

 yellow, covered with a number of light brown russet dots. 

 Eye open, scarsely at all depressed. Stalk short, fleshy, 

 and warted at its insertion. Flesh yellowish, tender, 

 buttery and melting, not very juicy, but brisk and vinous, 

 with a peculiar and fine aroma. 



This is an excellent pear, ripe in October, the fine 

 piquant flavour of which contrasts favourably with the 

 luscious sweetness of the Seckle, which comes in just 

 before it.
