The Pear is a long-lived tree, that grows singly or in small groups on dry plains. It attains a height of about fifty feet in thirty years, and its girth may then be three or four feet The timber is fine-grained, strong and heavy, with a reddish tinge. Stained with black, it is used to counterfeit ebony. Digitized by VjOOQIC 1 Digitized by VjOOQIC Digitized by VjOOQIC THE WILD APPLE. IO| The Wild Apple {Pyrus malus). It is by no means an easy matter to decide whether the Crab-trees that grow al...ong the hedgerows are truly wild or the offspring of orchard apples. In woods, away from gardens and orchards, there is less difficulty. Like the Pear, the Apple appears to have been the subject of cultural attention from very early times. This is proved by the philologists from the simi- larity of the equivalents for our word Apple in all the Celtic and Sclavonian languages, showing by their common origin that the fruit was of sufficient importance to have a distinctive name long before the separation of the peoples of Northern Europe.
