LIST OF PEARS. 



71 



22. Gansell's Burgamot ; this pear for its rich 

 melting flesh, and abundance of fine flavoured 

 juice, is decidedly the finest pear of its season ; 

 it is rather a shy bearer, but will do best against 

 a wall ; I have often seen fine crops on 

 standards ; it is in high perfection in Novem- 

 ber. 



23. Cardiliac ; this is a large pear generally 

 used for baking, and if they can be gathered 

 sound late in the Autumn, they will be good for 

 that purpose through the winter ; it is a good 

 bearer, but being generally cultivated as stand- 

 ards, and the fruit growing so large, the high 

 winds are very apt to shake them off. 



24. Seckle ; this pear among the new varie- 

 ties is very much esteemed; it is of a middling 

 size, full of very fine sweet juice, and will bear 

 well as standards, — is in eating about October. 



25. Maria Louisa ; this is a very fine pear ; 

 the flesh is melting and full of fine juice ; the 

 wood is weeping and best adapted for the wall : 

 at the present day it is esteemed as highly as any 

 of the new varieties, and will no doubt be gene- 

 rally cultivated.
