Among others the pears are especially good, and I never saw their equal anywhere else; they are, in fact, quite incomparable. Its roses and rose-water are also excellent, and almost as good as those of Herat. Moreover, its fruits have an advantage over the fruits of other countries, in that they are less unwholesome. The cold in winter is very severe, and the heat in summer is moderate; but the climate is very healthy. The fruits, which generally are injurious when taken at breakfast or after any food, are there, on account of the excellence of the climate, followed by no evil consequences and do no harm. During the autumn \[tirmakh\] it is not the custom to sell fruit in the provinces of Káshghar and Khotan, nor is it usual to hinder any one from plucking it. Nay more, it is planted along the roadsides, so that any one who wishes to do so, may take of it. - [Previous: 155.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2.9) - [Next: 155.2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2.11) - [Up: 155.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.155.2.10) · Pramāṇa
