334 A TREATISE OF 



if the tree grows in foil too moifl-, the 

 UioGts are apt to canker. The horizontals 

 flioiild be at leaft a foot from each other; 

 for the collaterals that bear are generally 

 pretty long. This tree is much more 

 proper for a wall than a ftandard. 



The grey or brown Buree, or butter pear, 

 is of different fizes, colours, and taftes, 

 according to the different foils or afpefts 

 it grows in, which fometimes occafions it 

 to have different names : but it is a con~ 

 trary pear to either of the Burees mention- 

 ed before. 



If the grey Buree be upon a free flock, 

 in a moift foil, a noithem afpeft, and a 

 wet fummer, then the fruit will be of a 

 pale gi^en colour, without any red upon 

 it, and but little brawn ^ and tho' it may 

 grow to-a lar-ge fize, yet the tafte will be 

 infipid: fior which r^afon I think 'tis befi: 

 to give this tr^e as much fun as poffible, 

 and then the fruit will be of a red colour 

 next the fun, and the other parts will be 

 brown but in ripening turns more yellow, 

 and its melting pulp will be full of a 

 very vinous juice j and when in perfeftion 

 it is alarge fruit, of a Ihape more long than 



round.
