PKARS. 427 



CONSEILLER EANWEZ.— Fruit, large, three inches and a quarter 

 long, and two inches and three-quarters wide ; pyramidal, even and 

 regularly formed. Skin, rough to the touch in consequence of the large 

 specks of coarse brown russet with which it is in some parts thickly 

 strewed; the ground colour is bright green, which becomes yellowish 

 within a day or two of its ripening. Eye, large and open, with stout, 

 erect segments, placed in a wide shallow basin. Stalk, about half an 

 inch long, rather stout and woody, inserted in a narrow depression, 

 surrounded with a patch of russet. Flesh, fine-grained, half buttery, 

 tender, and moderately juicy, sweet and brisk, like Autumn Bergamot, 

 without its aroma. 



Of second quality. It rots at the core in October. 



A seedling of Van Mons, which first fruited at Louvain in 1841, and was sent 

 me by M. Papeleu in 1847.

CRAIG'S FAVOURITE.— Fruit, medium sized ; obovate turbinate. 

 Skin, yellowish green in the shade, almost entirely covered with thin 

 russet, which is again covered with dots and patches of coarser russet ; 

 and next the sun dull red streaked with HveUer red, mottled with orange, 

 and thickly strewed with large grey russety dots. Eye, open, full of 

 stamens, with rigid incurved linear segments, which are covered with 

 white down, and set in a shallow, round, and somewhat undulating 

 basin, which is covered with scales of a white russet. Stalk, short, 

 stout, and fleshy, particularly at the base, and obliquely inserted, with 

 a fleshy protuberance connecting it with the fruit on one side of it. 

 Flesh, white, half buttery, juicy, sugary, and perfumed. 



A dessert pear ; ripe in September. The tree is vigorous, hardy, 

 and a great bearer. 



This variety is of Scotch origin, having been raised in the neighbourhood of 

 Perth, for which climate it is admirably adapted, and forms a valuable autumn 

 dessert pear.

CRASANNE {Bergamotte Crasanne ; Beurre Plat ; Crasanne 

 d'Automne). — Fruit, medium sized, two inches and three-quarters wide, 

 and two inches and a half high ; roundi^, and flattened. Skin, 

 greenish yellow, marked all over with veins and dots of grey russet. 

 Eye, small and open, with short, acute segments, set in a deep, round, 

 and narrow basin. Stalk, two inches to two and a half long, slender 

 and curved, inserted in a small cavity. Flesh, white, buttery, melting, 

 tender, and of a rich sugary flavour and fine perfume. 



A dessert pear ; in use from November to December. The tree is 

 vigorous and healthy, succeeds* well either on the pear or quince stock, 

 but needs a wall to bring the fruit to perfection. It needs a rich light 

 soil ; it is not a good bearer, and requires to be pruned long.
