among the best table apples of August. Fruit and leaves middle-sized, wood 

 moderately strong. 



No. XXVI. for December, contains 



101. The Early Bergamot Pear. Received by the Horticultural Society 

 from France, under a name which belongs to a perry pear. Fruit middle- 

 sized, roundish, flattened ; flesh very juicy, a little crisp and gritty, but very 

 rich and sugary. Ripens in the end of August and beginning of September, 

 and bears abundantly as a standard. " About the period when it ripens, we 

 have none that are half as good. It is a most excellent variety of its 

 season, and well worth growing." 



102. The Summer Rose Pear, the Epine Rose of Duhamel. " The 

 French gardeners have a class of pears which they call Cailleoux, in con- 

 sequence of the resemblance their speckled appearance gives them to the 

 caille, or quail. To this class belongs the subject of the present article, 

 which is even, as Duhamel informs us, sometimes called the Cailleau 

 Rosat. . . . We have not adopted the name of Onion-shaped Pear, which 

 would have been a more expressive name, because the French apply that 

 term both to pears having the peculiar flattened figure of this, and to others 

 which grow in such clusters upon the branches, that the latter resemble a 

 string of onions. The form is that of an apple, rather than of a pear ; and 

 Noisette remarks that it is so in a greater degree than any pear he knows. 

 It is a most excellent and beautiful variety ; not, indeed, to be compared 

 with the Jargonelle, with which it ripens, but greatly superior to any of the 

 kinds commonly cultivated, which are in eating at the same time. It bears 

 well as a standard. In perfection from the 10th to the end of August." 

 Fruit depressed, middle-sized, skin inclining to yellow, speckled with russet ; 

 " on the sunny side bright rich red, intermixed with brown spots. Flesh 

 white, juicy, rich, and sugary." 



103. The Morocco Plum, the Early Black Damask of Langley and For- 

 syth. " One of the very best of our early plums ;" very hardy, bears well 

 as a standard, and ripens fully a month before the Orleans, coming in at the 

 beginning of August. Fruit middle-sized, roundish ; skin blackish purple ; 

 flesh greenish yellow. 



104. The Cole Apple, sometimes called the Scarlet Perfume, but of un- 

 known origin. " A very excellent autumn apple, in perfection about the 

 end of August, remarkable for the singular beauty of both its flowers and 

 fruit. The former are large, and a deep rosy red, marbled with white ; the 

 latter is of a rich sanguine colour." . 



No. XXVII. for January, 1830, contains 



105. The George the Fourth Peach. One of the finest of American 

 peaches ; of vigorous growth, extremely healthy, and ripening its fruit about 

 the middle of September. The fruit is middle-sized, globular, and between 

 a clingstone and a melter. 



106. The Summer Francreal Pear.. A hardy, healthy, free-growing tree, 

 and a great bearer; the fruit rather large, turbinate, thickest about two 

 thirds from the stalk, and ripening in the middle of September. 



107. The Kerry Pippin Apple. An excellent autumn fruit of Irish 

 origin, scarcely rivalled in its season for high flavour, richness, and beauty. 

 The tree is said to be broom-headed, and a great bearer. The shoots erect, 

 and downy at the extremities ; the fruit is handsome, middle-sized, oval. It 

 ripens in September, and keeps till October. 



108. The ^ Jargonelle Pear (Epargne, Grosse Cuisse Madame, Beau 

 Present, Saint Lambert, Saint Samson, Poire des Tables des Princes). Un- 

 equalled in flavour, and unrivalled in productiveness. 



Its time of ripening and keeping not mentioned. " Its name is derived, 

 according to Menage and Duchat, from Jargon, anciently Gergon ; in Italian,
