>V. Micluier*. This is a variety that has a high reputation for the 

 quality of its fruit, which is very thin skinned and sweet when grown 

 under favourable conditions, Like the Navel, however, it is less hardy 

 than some other kinds, and requires a sheltered situation. When grown 

 under favourable conditions this variety is very prolific, but if circum- 

 stances are uncongenial it is a shy bearer, and the fruit is apt to lose its 

 high character. Fruit large and round. Skin a bright deep colour, very 

 thin, and smooth. Quality first-class.

 abundant and regular bearer.
