 general cultivation, succeeds on quince, or in other forms, 

 and bears freely. Invaluable from its extended season. 



Extra large ; a grand decorative Pear, with scarlet flush. If 

 caught in condition is of fair dessert quality; useful for 

 stewing. Quince. 



Large, a new late variety, which is a moderate bearer, melting, 

 and very rioh in flavour ; an addition to late sorts. Dwarfs, 

 1/6. Quince. F.C., R.H.S. 



Medium, handsome, melting, and excellent, one of our most 

 delicious kinds ; succeeds on quince, and bears profusely in 

 any form ; very handsome on Cordons or from Pot Trees. 

 Grand for market culture as bushes. 



A Continental sort, of the finest texture ; said to be equal to 

 the best. Quince. Dwarfs, 1/6; older, 6/0 to 7/6. 



Large, perfumed and prolific; is best flavoured from open 

 trees ; irregular grower. Quince. 



Enormous, very handsome, rich full flavour, with reddish flush ;

 Quince. 



Very large, showy, with sugary aromatic flavour; a new 

 Continental variety, which proves a grand addition, hand- 

 some in colour and shape, the finest in its season ; growth 

 upright and close. Dwarfs, 1/6 ; older, to value. 



Very large, russet brown fruit, of rich flavour, excellent ; one 

 of the best late kinds. Exhibited at Edinburgh, of remark- 

 able size. A garden variety, worthy of extended culture. 

 D.G-., or on Pear. 



Large to medium ; one of the best pears for walls ; succeeds 

 in all soils and situations (except cold moist places), is best 

 flavoured from open trees, requires frequent root pruning 1 , 

 as it is a rapid grower ; richly flavoured but uncertain in 

 bearing. See Emile d'Heyst. 



Large, fair flavour, good bearer — Quince or Pear stock — 

 hardy, Suitable for market culture, often crops freely when 

 others fail. 



Small to medium, hardy, melting, and excellent, good bearer, 

 good for general winter use, four months in season, often 

 large from a wall, most juicy, delicious Bergamot flavour. 

 This variety has the habit of casting its fruit prematurely, 

 and must not therefore be heavily thinned. Trees on Pear 

 require root pruning. Slow grower on Quince. 



Small, a great bearer, one to be relied on for a late dessert ; 

 fair flavour. Quince.

 flavour, rather rough in appearance ; deserves a wall ;

 like appearance, a great acquisition, bears well on Quince, 

 and forms a prolific Cordon ; the best flavoured in its season.

 yellow with red cheek ; delicious flavour, good grower, 

 forming a fertile tree ; an excellent market sort. Quince.

 on pear or quince ; extra. This grand golden yellow kind 

 has come into cultivation for market on a large scale, and 

 succeeds admirably on Standards in pear soils ; while no 

 finer fruit can be grown for home use or exhibition. Stan- 

 dards on Quince, 3/6 each. Large stock of grand extra 

 sized trees, to 10/6. F.C., E.H.S. Quince.
