APPENDIX II. 
A Report upon some New Seedling Pears raised by Thos. Andrew Knight, Esq., 
F.R.S., President. With Remarks by Mr. Knight (slightly condensed.) 
[From Transactions of the Horticultural Society, London. Vol. I., 2nd Series, pp. 105—10. The descriptions 
were made in the Garden of the Society from specimens examined in the years 1827, 1828, and 1830.] 
Garnon’s Pear. 
Fruit large, somewhat irregular, increasing beyond the middle, and from thence diminishing 
towards the eye, which is in a shallow depression or nearly level. The skin yellowish upon a wall, 
but remains long green if grown upon a standard. In size it resembles a Winter Bon Chrdtien , but 
the quality of the latter is not by any means to be compared with it. Flesh juicy, melting and rich. 
A very excellent pear. Season, January. 
Remarks .—I have seen this Pear, the produce of the original seedling tree, in each of the last five years; and its 
merits have appeared to me to be in all seasons above mediocrity. The trees grow well and bear very freely, and at an early 
age. __ 
Foxley Pear. 
Yellowish brown, rather gritty, but extremely pleasant and rather high flavoured. Vinous 
like the Galston Moor-fowl Egg. Season, November. 
Remarks .—This description corresponds very accurately with my notes. I believe, if it were ground and pressed, it 
would afford a finer liquor than ever has yet been obtained from the Pear or Apple. 
Rouse Lench Pear. —(With coloured figure.) 
Skin pale green, a good deal spotted and tinged with russet. Flesh firm, rather buttery, 
yellowish, rather gritty, but juicy and high-flavoured. A capital pear, between breaking and buttery. 
Season, January. 
Remarks .—I have never seen this pear in a perfect state till January. Its flesh, when it is perfectly ripe, is not, in any
