HAMPDEN'S BERGAMOT {Belle d'AoUt; Belle et Bonne ; Belle 

 de Bruxelles ; Belle sans Pepins ; Beuzard ; Belle de Luxembourg ; 

 Bergamotte de Bruxelles ; Bergamotte d'Ete Grosse ; Bergamatte de 

 Pay sans ; Ellanrioch ; Fanfareau ; Fingals ; Chradeuse ; Great Berga- 

 mot ; Scotch Bergamot). — Fruit, large, three inches wide and two and a 

 half high ; roundish, and narrowing abruptly to the stalk, even and 

 regular in its outline. Skin, pale yellowish green, covered with 

 numerous russety and green spots, and sometimes with a tinge of 

 brownish red next the sun. Eye, open, set in a wide saucer-like basin. 

 Stalk, long and slender, fleshy at the base, and inserted in a narrow 

 cavity. Flesh, white, rather coarse-grained, buttery, sweet, and 

 pleasantly flavoured. 



A second-rate pear ; ripe in September, and which soon becomes 

 mealy. The tree is hardy, an abundant bearer, and beai-s well as a 

 standard. It succeeds well on the quince stock, and if grown against 

 a wall produces fruit of an immense size. 



There is another variety, much smaller, which is also called Hampden's Bergamot, 

 and this is I think Bergamotte d'£te of Bahamel.
