flavoured, and with an aroma similar to that of the Autumn Ber- 

 gamot.

 January. 



Eaised from Gansel's Bergamot by Eev. John Huyshe, of Clysthydon, Devon. 



HUYSHE'S PRINCESS OF WALES.— Fruit, medium sized; 

 oblong, even in its outline, and abrupt at the stalk. Skin, in colour 

 like that of a handsome Marie Louise, a lemon-yellow ground, sprinkled 

 with patches, veins, and dots of pale cinnamon-coloured russet. Eye, 

 small and open, with narrow, erect segments, placed in a shallow de- 

 pression. Stalk, an inch long, stout and woody, somewhat obliquely 

 inserted in a round and rather wide cavity. Flesh, of a deep yellow 

 colour, fine-grained, very melting, abundantly juicy, and richly flavoured, 

 with a very high aroma. 



A very excellent pear ; ripe in the end of November. 



Eaised by Eev. John Huyshe, of Clysthydon, Devon. 



HUYSHE'S VICTORIA.— Fruit, medium sized; oval or almost 

 cylindrical, flattened at the ends. Skin, yellowish, freckled and veined 

 with russet. Eye, small and open, set in a shallow depression. Stalk, 

 very short and thick, inserted without depression on the end of the 

 fruit, and sometimes obliquely inserted as in Beurre d'Aremberg. 

 Flesh, yellowish, meltiug, rather gritty at the core, juicy, rich, sugary, 

 and vinous. 



A first-rate pear ; in use during December and January. 



Eaised by Eev. John Huyshe, of Clysthydon, Devon. 



Imperatrice de Bois. See Flemish Beauty. 



UVCPERIALE (Imperiale a, Feuilles de Chene; Oak-leaved Imperial). 

 — Fruit, medium sized; obtuse pyriform. Skin, smooth, at first bright 

 grass-green, changing successively to yellowish and bright yellow as it 

 attains maturity. Eye, small and open, with acute reflexed segments, 

 and set in a very shallow basin, almost even with the surface. Stalk, 

 an inch long, inserted in a small cavity. Flesh, fine-grained, crisp, and 

 juicy, with a sweet and somewhat aromatic flavour. 



A dessert pear of little merit except when grown against a wall ; ripe 

 during April and May. The tree is very vigorous and hardy, and is 

 remarkable for the singularity of its foliage, the leaves being so indented 

 and puckered as to give them the appearance of being sinuated like those 

 of the oak, but which is not the case, as it is only caused by the un- 

 dulations.
