Oakley Park Bergamot. 
Fruit middle-sized, roundish, obovate resembling a large Swans Egg. Eye partly open, in a 
regularly-formed cavity. Stalk an inch and a half in length, rather slender, and a little sunk at its 
insertion. Skin greenish yellow, sprinkled with russet. Flesh buttery and melting, rich and 
excellent. Season, October. 
Note .—Tree of free growth and bears well. 
Brougham Pear. 
Nearly of the middle size, obovate. Eye open in a regularly-formed depression. Stalk short. 
Skin, yellowish russet. Flesh yellowish white, buttery, a little gritty near the core, sugary and rich. 
Season, November. This sort is highly deserving of cultivation where flavour, rather than size, is 
the principal object. 
Note .—The Pear is as large as the Autumn Bergamot. I named it the Brougham Pear after Lord Brougham who 
approved of the fruit I sent him. 
Bringewood Pear. 
Fruit middle-sized, pyriform. Eye open with the segments of the calyx prominent. Stalk 
long and rather slender. Skin yellowish brown, almost covered with russet. Flesh yellowish white, 
a little gritty near the core, the rest buttery, rich and very excellent, with something of the peculiar 
flavour of the Monarch Pear. Well deserving of cultivation. Season, end of October to beginning 
of December. 
Note.—A good Pear, but variable in quality according to Season. 
Moccas Pear. 
Fruit middle-sized, obovate, with a short stalk. Eye somewhat open and very slightly sunk. 
Skin brown. Flesh inclining to yellow, melting, juicy, rich and highly flavoured, resembling in this 
respect the Monarch Pear, and almost equal to that very excellent variety. Season, December. 
Note .—A very fine Pear. Tree of excessively rapid growth, it blossoms and bears freely, and is hardy. 
Broom Park Pear. 
Fruit nearly middle-sized, roundish. Eye in a moderate-sized hollow. Stalk about an inch 
in length, moderately thick. Skin entirely covered with cinnamon-coloured russet. Plesh yellowish, 
melting, juicy, with something of a Melon flavour, sugary and rich. Its very peculiar flavour may 
be said to partake of the Melon and Pine-apple. Season, January. A sort highly deserving of 
cultivation. 
Note .—The singular flavour of the Pear was noticed at Downton as well as in London. The tree is fine and first 
bore fruit in 1830. 
Croft Castle Pear. 
Fruit middle-sized, oval. Eye open in a shallow depression with the segments of the calyx 
reclining. Stalk about an inch and a half in length, rather slender and somewhat obliquely inserted.
