GAHSEIL’S BEK&AMOT, 
ANSEL's Bergamot Pear is the Bonne Rouge 
of the French gardens ; it is, however of Eng- 
Rsh origin, as appears by a statement made 
David Jebb, Esq., of Worcester, in 1818, 
from which we learn that it was raised from a 
seed of the Autumn Bergamot, about the year 
1768, by Lieutenant-General Gansel, who resided at Donne- 
land Hill, near Colchester. The names Brocas Bergamot, and 
Ives’s Bergamot, by which it has sometimes been known, are 
now rarely made use of. The French highly esteem this Pear, 
and it must be acknowledged that their climate is more favour- 
able than our own for its cultivation. In England it has some- 
times been esteemed as a small bearer, which from obseiwation 
of its general habits, we should attribute to a want of vigour.
