64 Descriptions of several New Varieties of Fruit, 



4. Oakley Park Bergamot. 



Fruit middle-sized, roundish obovate, resembling a large Swan's 

 egg. Eye partly open, in a regularly formed cavity. Stalk an 

 inch and a half in length, rather slender, and a little sunk at its 

 insertion. Skin greenish-yellow, sprinkled with russet. Flesh 

 buttery and melting, rich and excellent. Season, October. 



Note, — The tree is of free growth and has borne in the three 

 last years. 



5. Brougham Pear. 



Nearly of the middle-size, obovate. Eye open in a regularly 

 formed depression. Stalk short. Skin yellowish-russet. Flesh 

 yellowish-white, buttery, a little gritty near the core, sugary and 

 rich. Season, November. This sort is highly deserving of cul- 

 tivation where flavour rather than size is the principal object. 



Note. — This is not a small pear, though the sample sent was 

 small. It is at least as big as the Autumn Bergamot ; but I had 

 sent away to several friends the largest and best samples ; and I 

 never saw my pears so small as in this year (1833), owing to what 

 cause I do not know; but probably to the drought in the early 

 part of the summer. I have named it the Brougham Pear, a 

 sample sent by me to Lord Brougham having been approved by 

 his Lordship. 



6. Bringewood Pear. 



Fruit middle-sized, pyriform. Eye open with the segments of 

 the calyx prominent. Stalk long and rather slender. Skin yel- 

 lowish-brown, almost covered with russet. Flesh yellowish-white, 

 a little gritty near the core, the rest buttery, rich and very ex- 

 cellent, with something of the peculiar flavour of the Monarch 

 Pear. Well deserving of cultivation. Season, end of October till 

 beginning of December. 



Note. — This variety did not prove nearly as good in the following
