Description of Scotch Pears. 



XIX. Brigton Pear. An immense 

 bearer, one tree often yielding from 

 thirty-five to forty bushels. Leaves 

 large, ovate, pubescent; footstalks 

 moderately long. Tree lofty ; outer 

 branches pendulous. Fruit ripe early 

 in September; does not keep; eats 

 moderately well ; colour, dark grey. 



XX. Monie Penny (Scotice for 

 many pence.) A great bearer. Leaves 

 oblong, linear, smooth, serrated ; foot- 

 stalks rather short. Tree not lofty. 

 Fruit ripe in October ; an indifferently 

 tasted Pear, but takes the market 

 well; is scarce, and without much 

 detriment to the interests of Pomona, 

 may continue so ; colour, dark green.
