perfumed, but a little gritty, especially at the core, and 

 of a yellowish white colour. The Core lieth nearer the 

 eye than the stalk, of a narrow longish shape and middling 

 size, pretty deep into the substance of the body ; the cells 

 small, of a whitish colour ; this specimen produced no 

 kernels. 



Uvedale Pear, or Germain Baker, fig. 20. A wind- 

 fall from a tall young tree in Mr. Set. wood's nursery, 

 1 st September, 1716, being only a middling specimen. On 

 the 9 th April, 1717, it was somewhat shrunk, and turned 

 black over most of its outside, but. not corrupted or turned 

 to rottenness within. 



Sans Peau, or Skinless Pear, fig. 21. A middling 

 specimen from a dwarf in Mr. Duneau's ground. A mode- 

 rate bearer, till it becomes a large tree, and will bear in any 

 form ; put usually on a Pear-stock. The Stalk very long, 

 slender, and straight, the fruit sloping down to it : began to 

 perish about the stalk where the skin shrivelled, and the fruit 

 soft. The Skin smooth, and russety, a little green when 

 gathered ; turns to a bright yellow colour, and very tender in 

 the mouth, when fit for eating. The Pulp very tender and 

 sugary, fluent in juice, which is of a quick brisk flavour, not 

 at all sharp ; it is a little gritty about the core. The Core 

 but small, produceth three or four kernels of a longish shape, 

 and a whitish yellow colour, edged round with a brown russet 

 coloured tincture, taper at the end, and a little nib or top 

 on one side of the head. A very good fruit to eat raw, and 

 allures the palate to feed heartily upon them. It will keep 

 ten days, or a fortnight, after gathering. You may begin to 

 unfurnish the tree by the middle of July.
