IS a great variety of Pears to humor every palate^ fomie 
early ripc^ fome long laftiog, and for all feafons of the 
'year, lorae to be roUedjbaked or dried^or otherwife to 
be preferved, which may as well be had from our Eaft^ 
Countries, from JVorceJlerJhirey Here for d/Ijtre and 6"^= 
lop*^ but my chief aim here is for tliofe Pears which 
yield the richeft, wholefomeft ^ and moft winy liquor 
in great adundance, and at good certainty 5 of which 
there are many excellent kinds in the confines be- 
tween Worcefier and Hereford from PervicJ^ to Bosbury^ 
where the Bareland-pear (mentioned by Mr* J^ed) 
grows in the common arable field , that^ and fome 
ther pears of uncertain names in Powic\ do yield a very 
ftrong and long lafting liquor. The Horfe-pears, as 
there they call them, the white and the red of feveral 
kind J, yield abundance of pleafant liquor* The Jtkts 
great and little, wild and gentle, the Linten ps'ar^ Lul- 
lampear^ Squafh-^pear ^ have their peculiar excellencies 
for liquor, and fome of them for the largenefs of the 
Tree* yielding conftantly fome hogflieads of liquor 
yearly* Where the foil hath not been trycd, and found 
kindeft for -/^^/?/^/, 'tis the fureft way to plant Pears al- 
ternatively 3 and where the liquor of Pears is weak ^ 
or lefs lafting, this may be helped by a gentle 
mixture ©f Crabs , or of the harfheft Apples to hu« 
mour all palatf, and for a help to the Stomachy the mix* 
ture being made in the time of grinding the fruit toge* 
ther; and thus, when the better foil is too ftiallow for 
w^pplesj but receives Pears kindly at a greater depth^ 
a hedge-row of Crabs^ or wild auftere apples, raifed on 
the mounds and ripening in the fame ieafor^, will^ by 
well ordering it, afford fuch a perfed: remedyj thatju^ 
dicious palatsmay be deceived, and take it for the bed 
Cider. I muft here give notice, that SirJK <S^. recom" 
mends ih^Bamlin^ apple of Devon for Cider cqiiai to the
