. Nectaf.ink is much like the peach in all refpefrs, 

 only that it is fmaller, has a hnooth fkin, and ot firmer 

 fleth. The Neivington, red Roman, temple, and murry, 

 are good forts, to which the curious, in a good fitua- 

 tion, may add the early nutmeg, the late green, or 

 P. ierborough, and the -white Italian. 



In gathering nectarines and peaches, never pinch them 

 to try whether they are ripe ; tor when fo, the touch 

 will difcover it, and uhenthorough ripe (as they fhould 

 be) thev will come from the tree with great eafe. See 

 pages uk), SO, 71, DO, 103, 105, U K J, ckc. 



Nut, fee Filberd. 



Peach (in general) fucceeds better than the necla- 

 rine, as to bearing and ripening. There .s a great 

 variety of peaches under cultivation m England, but 

 on the Continent the number is much greater. The 

 following may be recommended : The early Ann, early 

 Ncwington, early purple, the red and white Magdalen s, 

 the two mignons, noblejj'e, admirable, old, or late iXeiv* 

 ington and Catherine. 



Peaches cannot be too ripe, (fee neclarine) fo that 

 thofe which drop are by many reckoned the beft ; and 

 'hole whofe flefh adheres to' the iionc (called pavies) 

 are by fome thought the more delicious. The noblejje 

 and admirable part from the itone. See pages 29, 00, 

 71, 90, 103, H)s !£9„ &c.
