316 THE FLORIST. 



" 9* Pourpree Hative. — This is an excellent Peach, of large size, 

 and good quality. 



" 10. Royal Charlotte. — A very fine melting Peach, an excellent 

 bearer, forces well, but, like the following, is subject to mildew. 



"11. Royal George. — The flavour of this variety is one of the most 

 exquisite of any sort grown ; it is much cultivated, and deservedly so, 

 being very handsome when full grown. 



"LATE SORTS. 



"12. Late Admirable. — This is one of the very best late sorts in 

 cultivation, and should be classed A 1, in a selection. It is well adapted 

 for house culture, where it ripens well, after the earlier sorts ; on the 

 wall it is indispensable. 



" 13. Late Catharine. — This is a good old late clingstone, of a large 

 size, and very handsome appearance ; in favourable autumns it is full 

 of a rich sugary juice ; keeps a long time. A very useful sort. 



" 14- Old Newington. — A handsome clingstone Peach, of tolerable 

 quality ; may be planted in a large collection, but the two preceding 

 varieties will answer every useful purpose, in a small collection. 



"15. Walburton Admirable. — This is a variety supposed to be a 

 seedling from Noblesse, which it much resembles ; it ripens about the 

 same time as the last, and is of great excellence. 



"16. Salway Peach. — This variety, which was raised in the garden 

 of Colonel Salway, from a stone brought from Italy, is one of the latest 

 varieties known. It has received a very high character from Mr. Ingram, 

 of the Royal Gardens at Frogmore ; also from the British Pomological 

 Society, and the Fruit Committee of the Horticultural Society ; and 

 Mr. Turner, of Slough, informs me, that it in noways loses its high 

 character on a further acquaintance with its many estimable properties, 

 but that it may be very confidently recommended as an acquisition of 

 great worth. 



"NECTARINE.— EARLY SORTS. 



" 1. Fab-child's Early. — A small red Nectarine, of medium quality, 

 only valuable for its earliness, for which purpose, when only one is 

 required, the next is preferable. 



" 2. Hunt's Tawny. — This is a medium sized early Nectarine, of 

 first-rate quality, and well worthy of cultivation. 



"MIDSEASON DITTO. 



" 3. Boston. — A fine handsome Nectarine, good for forcing, but 

 requiring the best situation on a south wall, out of doors. 



" 4. Elruge. — One of the best in cultivation, good for either walls or 

 forcing, a great bearer, and a general favourite. 



" 5. Old Newington. — This is also a good bearer, of a fine red colour, 

 and first-rate both in size and quality. 



" 6. Early Newington. — Rather earlier and deeper in colour than 

 the last, and by many preferred to it, but both are good. 



" 7- Red Roman. — An old sort, good quality, and an abundant 

 bearer. 



" 8. Brugnon. — A very good second early Nectarine, requires to be 

 eaten soon after being gathered, as it soon loses flavour.
