prominent dots. Flesh, white, fine grained, melting, 

 sweet and of fair flavour. Eye, closed or a little open in 

 a deep regular basin. Stem, long, slender, a little 

 fleshy, often curved. Growth, vigorous, upright; 

 fertility remarkable. Leaf, medium, oval, pale green, 

 little upfolded, down curved, faintly serrate, dies off 

 pale yellow-red. Origin, raised by M. Thirriott, a 

 nurseryman of Ardennes, Charleville, France, in 1858. 

 First fruited in 1862. Remarkable for its fertility and 

 of quite good flavour in warm soils. The fruit is rather 

 apt to fall on standard trees.

 cavity. Growth, vigorous, outward spreading ; fertility 

 moderate. Leaf, flat, much down curved, margin

 G. Rote Dechantsbirne. (Brocas Bergamotte, Bonne 

 Rouge.) Dessert, November to December, fairly large, 

 2f by 2j, flattened round. Skin, a little rough. Colour, 

 pale yellowish-green with red-brown flush and russet 

 flecks. Flesh, white, melting, remarkably sweet and 

 richly flavoured ; a little gritty. Eye, open in a shallow 

 basin. Stem, medium, fleshy in a moderate deep 

 cavity. Growth, weak, straggling ; fertility moderate. 

 Leaf, round oval, entire, undulating. Origin, according 

 to Lindley this was raised by Lt.-Gen. Gansel at Don- 

 neland Hill, Colchester, from a seed of Autumn Berga- 

 motte, about 1768. A weak grower, doing best when 

 double grafted. It requires a wall to bring its fruits 

 to perfection.
