510 OUR WOODLAND TREES. 
October or November, is, as is pretty well known, 
of a rather dark brown colour. It is five-celled 
and five-seeded.  Mespilus germanica can be 
grafted successfully either upon the Hawthorn, 
the Wild Pear, or the Quince. The Tree will 
grow in almost any kind of soil which is not too 
moist. 
The Medlar has not a wide distribution 
throughout English woodlands, being found—and 
that very sparingly—in a wild state in only two or 
three counties, including, it is believed, Chester, 
Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. Its autumnal leaves 
have hues of brown and yellow.
