KINDS OF FRUITS. 175 



climate, a good soi], and a south aspect, in order to 

 have it in perfection. The tree, if not planted in 

 very good soil, and particularly if the season be but 

 indifferent, often produces unshapely fruit, or a 

 mixture of differently shaped pears ; some being 

 longish, some roundish, and some having the bot- 

 tom of the stalk turned so as to resemble a horn. 



1 3. GanselPs Bergamot. Differing little from the 

 autumn bergamot ; but said to be the same thing, 

 improved by culture. It is a very high-flavoured 

 fruit, when well ripened. 



14. Moorfowl Egg. A very good high-flavoured, 

 rather large pear, and a very good bearer. It is 

 said to be originally Scotch. It is somewhat egg- 

 shaped. A good standard fruit, and a pretty good 

 keeper. 



15. Carnock; or Drummond. An excellent, high- 

 flavoured pear, when well ripened, but not very 

 juicy ; brownish, longish, and rather small ; and 

 will keep a few weeks. It is a common standard 

 pear in the Clydesdale orchards, and is a great bear- 

 er. It should be eaten before it gets mealy. 



16. Warden. There are several sorts of Wardens, 

 of which Parkinson's is the best. They are late 

 winter pears, good bearers and keepers, but only fit 

 for baking. 



17. Scots Bergamot. This is a very good large 

 pear, a great bearer, and very proper for a standard. 



1 8. Longueville. This is a longer, and, upon the 

 whole, a better fruit than the one last named, inso- 

 much that it keeps better ; but it is not so good a 

 bearer.
