NUTS AND FILBERTS. -131 



sized, long, pointed at both ends, of irregular angular shape, of a dull 

 grey colour ; shell, very hard. Grows in small clusters. Plant of 

 strong, late growth ; ripens late. Hort. 



LIEGEL'S (Sickler's Zellemuss ; Jeeves' 's Seedling). Husk, downy, 

 short, three-quarters of the length of the nut ; very deeply toothed 

 and reflexed, the nut thereby being almost entirely exposed. Nut, 

 large, oblong, with a broad rounded base, becoming flattened towards 

 the apex, light coloured ; shell, thin ; kernel, large, full. Grows in 

 small clusters ; moderate grower ; ripe mid-season. Hort. 



Mr. Barren has made a mistake in describing this under the name of Sicgel's. 

 It was raised by Dr. Liegel, of Braunau, a distinguished pomologist. 



LODDIGES'S BARCELONA (Barcelone de Loddiyes}. Husk, very 

 large, full, covered with short hairs, twice the length of the nut, which 

 in some cases it completely covers ; sharply serrated, light coloured. 

 Nut, of medium size, being almost hidden in the large husk, angular, 

 bluntly pointed at both ends, dark coloured ; shell, very thick, hard ; 

 kernel, full. Grows in clusters of five or six. Plant of very robust 

 growth, with large dark green leaves ; a moderate cropper ; fruit 

 ripens early. 



Very distinct, but too small. Hort. 



Miss Young's. See Cosford. 



MERVEILLE DE BOLLWYLLER (Weusnumn's Zellernuss). 

 Husk, downy ; about one-third longer than the nut, in two divisions ; 

 deeply and irregularly toothed, and pressing closely to the nut. Nut, 

 large, rounded at the base, very broad, the breadth nearly equal to 

 the height, tapering to a broad point, very regular and uniform, light 

 coloured ; shell, thick ; kernel, large, fine flavour. Plant of strong 

 growth ; grows late ; prolific ; fruit ripens mid-season. A very hand- 

 some and excellent nut. Hort. 



NORWICH PROLIFIC. Husk, finely downy, rather deeply cut, 

 and fringed as long and no longer than just to meet over the nut. 

 Nut, large, roundish, or rather of a square shape, and blunt pointed ; 

 shell, pale with brown streaks, almost as thin a$ the Cosford ; kernel, 

 very plump and full, with a fine flavour of fresh almonds when just ripe. 



An excellent nut, raised by Messrs. Ewing and Co., of Norwich. 

 The tree is a good bearer. 



Nottingham Prolific. See Pearson's Prolific. 



PEARSON'S PROLIFIC (Dwarf Prolific; Nottingham Prolific). 

 Husk, hairy, shorter than the nut. Nut, medium sized, obtusely ovate 

 or roundish ; shell, rather thick ; kernel, full. 



A very excellent variety. The trees are abundant and early bearers. 

 I have seen them not more than two feet and a half high laden with 

 fruit.
