APPENDIX. No. II. 



II. A List of Pears cultivated in France and the Netherlands, with 

 the Periods of their Maturity, their Quality, Size, and Flavour, 

 Bsc. By Le Chevalier Joseph Parmentier, Corresponding 

 Member of the Horticultural Society. 



Th e following List of Pears was communicated to the Society by 

 M. Parmentier, principally with a view to furnish a correct standard 

 of orthography, many of our Catalogues being very faulty in this 

 respect. Most of the new Flemish Pears will be found in the List, 

 but not the whole of them, M. Parmentier having inserted those 

 only, of the qualities of which he could speak from experience. In 

 translating M. Parmentier's terms, the word cassante has been 

 rendered by crisp, as more expressive than breaking, and the word 

 espalier is used in the same sense as by the English Gardeners ; 

 namely, a tree trained upon a trellis in the open border, not trained 

 on a wall, as the French word implies.
