. This succeeds equally well upon the Pear and the 

 Quince.

69. Swiss BERGAMOT. Miller, No. 33. 



Bergamotte Suisse. Duhamel, 4/7. t. 20. 



Fruit middle-sized, somewhat turbinate, and pinched 

 in towards the stalk ; about two inches and a half long, 

 and two inches and a quarter in diameter. Eye small, 

 in a shallow depressed basin. Stalk three quarters of an 

 inch long, slender, a little warted, inserted in a small 

 oblique cavity. Skin green, striped with red, turning 

 yellow as it ripens. Flesh melting, and full of juice, 

 but not so high flavoured as in other Bergamots. 



Ripe the end of September and beginning of October. 



This succeeds equally well on the Pear and the 

 Quince. 



60. VARIEGATED CRASANNE. 



Crasanne Panachee. Duhamel, No. 50. t. 23. 



Fruit scarcely differing from the Crasanne described 

 before, of which it is a variety. The branches are not 

 so strong, and the leaves have a very lively appearance, 

 the entire margin of each being of a pale yellow when 

 they first expand, and become white when fully grown. 



It makes a very handsome appearance in the shrub- 

 bery among other ornamental trees ; but its fruit can 

 only be obtained by planting it against a warm wall.
