 and is one of the hardiest and most prolific of nectarines.

 wide, and the same high, terminating in a point at the apex, from

 stalk. Skin, bright orange yellow, stained, streaked, and mottled 

 with very dark crimson next the sun, and sometimes even on the 

 shaded side. Flesh, orange, very tender and juicy, with the slightest 

 stain of red next the stone, from which it separates freely ; gelatinous 

 in appearance, and very richly flavoured. Flowers, large. Glands, 

 round. 



A delicious nectarine of the Orange class ; ripe in the middle of 

 August, and hangs well till it shrivels. On a wall it is about a fortnight 

 later. The tree bears abundantly, even small plants being studded 

 with blossom buds. 



It was raised by Mr. Rivers, of Sawbridgeworth, from the seed of Pineapple 

 Nectarine. 



HUNT'S LARGE TAWNY. Fruit, small, a little larger than Fair- 

 child's, somewhat ovate, and prominent at the apex. Skin, pale 

 orange, shaded with deep red next the sun. Flesh, deep orange, 

 melting, of excellent flavour, and separating from the stone. Flowers, 

 large. Leaves, without glands. 



Ripe in the middle and end of August. 



This originated as a bud sport from Hunt's Small Tawny, found by Mr. George 

 Lindley in his nursery at Catton, near Norwich, in 1824. He paw a few of the 

 maiden trees in the nursery quarters, producing very large flowers which 

 corresponded with flowers of no other variety, and, having marked them, thence- 

 forth propagated them as a distinct variety. In his account of this in the " Guide 

 to the Orchard," at page 282, he has made a mistake in saying " it originated from 

 the preceding" instead of from the following variety.
