Gansel’s Bergamotte is a well known and delicious pear, raised 
seventy-seven years ago, from a seed of the Autumn Bergamot, 
by the English Lieutenant-General Gansel, of Donneland Hall. 
Though a little coarse-grained, it is, in its perfection, scarcely 
surpassed by any other pear in its peculiarly rich, sugary fla- 
vour, combined with great juiciness. It is stated, by some, to 
be an unfruitful sort, and it is, in poor or cold soils, only a thin 
bearer, but we know a very large tree near us, in a warm, rich 
soil, which frequently bears a dozen bushels of superb fruit. 
The mealy leaves, and spreading dark grey shoots, distinguish 
this tree. 
Fruit large, roundish obovate, but much flattened. Skin 
roughish brown, becoming yellowish brown at maturity, tinged 
sometimes with a russet red cheek, and sprinkled with spots of 
russet. Stalk short, fleshy at both ends, Cavity moderate. 
Calyx short and small, placed in a smooth, moderate hollow. 
Flesh white, melting, very juicy, rich, sweet and aromatic. Ri- 
pens during all September. 
Bereamorre pe MILLEPIEps.
