PEAKS. 455 



greenish grey russet dots, and slight markings of russet. Eye, open, 

 with long flat leafy segments set in a rather deep basin. Stalk, an 

 inch and a half long, rather slender, inserted in a narrow cavity. 

 Flesh, white, tender, smooth, and buttery, of a rich and sugary flavour. 



A first-rate dessert pear ; in use from December to January. 



The tree is hardy and an excellent bearer, and succeeds well as a 

 standard, except in cold and exposed situations, where it requires to be 

 grown against a south wall. It succeeds well on the quince. 



I have remarked, when treating of Beurre d'Aremberg, that great 

 confusion has existed between these two varieties. This was raised by 

 Councillor Hardenpont at Mons. Van Mons named it Koi de Wurtem- 

 burg, and received a handsome snuff box as an acknowledgment of the 

 compliment from the King of Wurtemburg.

GOLDEN KNAP. — This is a very small roundish turbinate russety 

 pear, of no great merit. It is grown extensively in the orchards of 

 the Border counties and in the Carse of Gowrie ; and being a prodigi- 

 ous and constant bearer, is well adapted for orchard planting where 

 quantity and not quality is the object. 



Eipe in October. 



GOLDEN QUEEN. — Fruit, small, two inches and three-quarters 

 long and two inches and a half wide ; obovate. Skin, clear straw colour 

 . and strewed with a few minute dots. Eye, very small and closed, set 

 in a shallow narrow basin. Stalk, an inch long, curved, inserted with- 

 out depression. Flesh, very tender and extremely juicy, sweet and 

 highly perfumed. 



A delicious pear ; ripe in September, but speedily rots at the core. 

 It ought to be gathered before it changes colour. 



This was raised at the Royal Gardens, Frogmore, near Windsor, and was first 

 exhibited in 1872. 



GOLDEN RUSSET.— Fruit, small ; obtuse obovate. Skin, of a 

 bright cinnamon russet. Eye, small, slightly open, set in a consider- 

 able depression. Stalk, half an inch long, very stout and fleshy. 

 Flesh, yellow, fine-grained, buttery and melting, juicy, sweet, and with 

 a flavour resembhng that of Marie Louise. 



An excellent httle pear ; ripe in October. Soon rots at the core. 



A seedling raised at the Royal Gardens, Frogmore, near Windsor, and first 

 exhibited in 1863.
