A List of Apples and Pears. 



PEARS, 



Gansell's Bergaraotte. 

 Crassane. 



Bon Chretien. 

 Swan's Egg. 

 Paddington Pear. 

 Uvedale's St. Germain. 

 Cadillac. 

 D'Auche. 



Brown Beurre. 

 Grey Beurre. 

 Chaumontel. 

 Colmar. 



Of the above list, those marked with an asterisk are good 

 keepers, and many of them highly deserving cultivation. 



The greater part of the trees which produced the fruit 

 exhibited, were transplanted at ten and twelve years of age ; 

 pruning the branches exceedingly, and applying clay-balls 

 to their strongest shoots, as I have already recommended.* 



The Scarlet Nonpareil is known by many gardeners now 

 living to have been raised about forty years ago in the garden 

 of a public house at Esher, in Surry, from whence the late 

 Mr. Grimwood first obtained it. 



The Gloucestershire Creeper produces good fruit for the 

 dessert, and is easily propagated by cuttings, being of the 

 Bur-knot tribe, but very different to the common Bur-knot. 



The Warwickshire Pippin approaches closely to the Gol- 

 den Pippin, but is flatter, and is excellent from October to 

 January. 



North's New Scarlet Pippin is so valuable a fruit, that I 

 strongly recommend it. It is excellent to eat, of a beau- 

 tiful colour, and may with care be preserved in prime order 

 to the end of February or March, if not gathered too soon.
