Gansel’s Bergamotte is a well known and delicious pear, raised 
seventy-seven years ago, from a seed of the Autumn Bergamot, 
by the English Lieutenant-General Gansel, of Donneland Hall. 
Though a little coarse-grained, it is, in its perfection, scarcely 
surpassed by any other pear in its peculiarly rich, sugary fla- 
vour, combined with great juiciness. It is stated, by some, to 
be an unfruitful sort, and it is, in poor or cold soils, only a thin 
bearer, but we know a very large tree near us, in a warm, rich 
soil, which frequently bears a dozen bushels of superb fruit. 
The mealy leaves, and spreading dark grey shoots, distinguish 
this tree. 
Fruit large, roundish obovate, but much flattened. Skin 
roughish brown, becoming yellowish brown at maturity, tinged 
sometimes with a russet red cheek, and sprinkled with spots of 
russet. Stalk short, fleshy at both ends. Cavity moderate. 
Calyx short and small, placed in a smooth, moderate hollow. 
Flesh white, melting, very juicy, rich, sweet and aromatic. Bi- 
pens during all September. 
Fruit of medium size, roundish, resembling Belle de Brussels, 
Bdn greenish, rather dark, dotted. Flesh white, melting, juicy, 
first rate. Ripens September. (Leroy’s Cat.) 
Tree vigorous, grows well on pear and quince, young wood olive, 
inclining to brown. Fruit large, elongated-pyriform, or pyrami- 
dal. Skin greenish-yellow, with a red cheek, and min ite dots. 
Stalk rather long and large, inserted by a lip almost without 
cavity. Calyx large, open, basin broad and furrowed. Flesh 
juicy, sweet, melting, and pleasantly perfumed, probably of first 
quality. October. 
Tree vigorous on pear and quince, very productive. 
Fruit medium, turbinate, or obtuse-pyriform. Skin pale yel- 
low, slightly shaded with crimson and blotched with russet, and 
covered with russet dots. Stalk short and fleshy, inserted often 
by a lip in a small depression. Calyx open or partially closed,
