LVIII. Green Achan. Leaves 

 ovate, undulated, slightly pu- 

 bescent, not serrated ; footstalk 

 moderately long. Tree a free 

 grower, branches pendulous, 

 and often broken with the 

 weight of fruit if unsupported. 

 Fruit ripe in the middle of Oc- 

 tober ; keeps a month. It can 

 hardly be called a dessert Pear, 

 but deserves a place in the 

 orchard. 



LXIX. Pear Grannie, or 

 Green Pear of Hill. Leaves 

 ovate, smooth, deeply serrated ; 

 footstalks straight. Tree mo- 

 derate size. Fruit ripe end of 

 October ; keeps two to three 

 weeks; taste sweet and juicy, 

 not excellent, but a sure bearer ; 

 colour of this and the Green 

 Achan green, as their names 

 import.
