One of the most profitable of the small pears ; a very 

 heavy cropper and vigorous grower. Especially 

 useful where more tender varieties will not succeed. 



May be described in the same terms as Hazel, but too 

 many should not be planted as it must be marketed 

 as soon as ready, A long time coming into bearing. 



A dessert pear of high quality and somewhat unusual 

 flavour. Medium size ; yellowish green with a dark 

 red cheek. Growth medium and upright. A very 

 valuable variety in a congenial situation, when it is 

 a heavy and regular bearer, but in other situations is 

 liable to suffer from frost, 



A dessert pear of quite good quality. Very large; 

 orange yellow with red flush and patches of russet. 

 Growth strong and upright. Bears freely in a warm 

 and sheltered situation. 



Large dessert of quite good quality if not left too long 

 on the tree, but does not keep long. Skin marked 

 with pale cinnamon russet. Tree of good growth 

 and shape. Generally a very heavy cropper, but care 

 should be taken to market before ripe. 



An old Scotch dessert pear of fair quality, and rather 

 below medium size. Yellowish green, with a mottled 

 red cheek and covered with pale russet dots. A 

 reliable cropper and vigorous grower ; is hardy in 

 Scotland and the North country.
