This rough-looking, ugly Pear is much esteemed by some growers. It is in season in early 
autumn, and requires peculiar treatment. It is not fit to grind until the inside is apparently rotten 
to within half an inch of the rind, when it “ squashes ” readily under the foot. The perry is sweet 
and good in flavour, but is only fit for immediate consumption. Wasps and bees are very fond of 
the decaying fruit, thus affording practical testimony to its aroma and sweetness. 
The tree grows large and fine, and bears well. It is only grown in certain localities. A 
young and flourishing orchard of half-grown trees of this variety exists at this time at Bartestree, 
and other trees have been grafted from these, some fifteen or sixteen years since (1866-7) at 
Brockhampton.
