Large, like Jargonelle in shape, bears freely, of very rich 

 flavour ; a hardy free grower, succeeding on chalk. Quince. 



Large ; better as a cropper and for appearance than 'Williams, 

 which it closely resembles ; recommended for market ; some- 

 times worthy of the dessert, remarkably handsome, and 

 withstands the spring frosts well; bears profusely, and 

 regularly. Compact grower upon Quince. 



New and very fine ; one of the best lately introduced ; great 

 bearer, of exquisite flavour. This cropped freely in 1897, 

 when most Pears failed. One year trees, 1/6 ; older, Fruiting 

 Cordons and Pyramids, 3/6 to 7/6. Quince. A.M.,R.H.S., 

 October 12th. 



Medium ; a variety highly spoken of ; handsome, of good 

 flavour, and of free, healthy habit. 



Large, handsome, a good constant bearer, with refreshing 

 acidity ; slow on quince, but good on pear ; not first-rate, 

 but of taking appearance. Fine as a Standard. 



Very small, the earliest pear, refreshing, and very pretty; 

 bears freely in any form ; best gathered a few days before 

 it is quite ripe. 



Large, splendid, very handsome, of finest possible flavour ; the 

 best in its season. This grand variety ranks as the most 

 delicious melting pear grown, it bears remarkably large 

 fruit, and makes a fertile Pyramid, Cordon or Wall Tree. 

 By planting "Cornice" on various aspects, a succession 

 can be maintained ; it is of such excellence that several trees 

 should be added to every collection. 



Medium ; delicious late pear, bearing freely, and keeps well ; 

 requires high culture and 86vere thinning to perfect its 

 growth. Quince. 



Large ; an old favourite, bearing freely in some situations, but 

 not first rate in flavour, good in warm seasons when liberally 

 cultivated. Quince. 



Medium, good bearer, fine russet colour, rich Beurre flavour, 

 moderate grower on quince. F.C., E.H.S., in February. 

 Must be well mulched to perfect its fruit. D.G. 



Very large, handsome, rich and delicious flavour ; a valuable 

 long fruit, and most fertile on Quince or Pear ; colour rich 

 russety brown ; first-rate in all forms, bearing freely when 

 others fail ; most reliable for market or garden culture. 



Large, hardy, and a fair grower, melting, with delicious re- 

 freshing flavour ; fruit handsome ; most prodigious regular 

 cropper on Quince stock, and succeeds as a Standard ; a 

 variety that should be grown in quantity in every garden. 

 It equals Marie Louise in quality, is hardier, and bears very 

 much better. See Fig. 23. 



Medium ; a great bearer, useful for market, often bears freely 

 when other pears fail, and in cold soils and North is a very 

 useful garden variety on Quince. 



Medium, deliciously sweet, great bearer, and in its season one 

 of the finest ; handsome Pyramid on Quince, reliable as a 

 Standard or Wall Tree ; extra fine and indispensable. 



Large, a handsome fruit, of finest flavour, sweet and melting, 

 good grower, abundantly prolific ; Quince, extra. 



Very large, perfumed and melting, fine handsome fruit, not 

 rich in flavour, a fair bearer on Quince; a good stewing 

 pear, and in hot seasons worthy of the dessert. Quince. 



Medium, a good winter pear in hot seasons ; requires a warm 

 soil, and does well by the sea. Quince. 



Large, a fine hardy pear, free bearer and excellent. Quince. 



Enormous, brown melting pear, perhaps the largest of all; 

 will not keep long, but is good for stewing before it becomes 

 ripe ; a free bearer, of taking appearance for decoration. 

 Large, roundish fruit, of rich aromatic flavour for garden 



culture ; good as a Pyramid ; best on pear stock. 

 Medium ; the best fruit of its season ; is improved in flavour 

 if gathered before it parts readily from the tree. Succeeds 

 on walls"or as an open Standard ; makes a prolific tree on 

 the Quince, and forms a spreading bush ; is not suitable for 

 a Cordon as the joints are so far apart.
