446 THE FEUIT MANUAL. 



flavour remarkable for its union of the briskness of the White Nectarine 

 with the noyau of the Peach. Flowers, large. Leaves, with kidney- 

 shaped glands. 



When fully ripe this is one of the most delicious of all peaches. It 

 ripens from the middle to the end of August, and when forced it retains 

 its fine racy flavour better than any other kind. Mr. Blackmore says, 

 " Apt to ripen on one side only. Good only in fine seasons." 



This delicious peach was raised by Mr. Eivers, in 1857, from seed of the White 

 Nectarine. 



EARLY TILLOTSON. Fruit, medium sized, round. Skin, yel- 

 lowish white on the shaded side and dotted with red, but on the side 

 next the sun it is quite covered with dark red. Flesh, white, melting, 

 juicy and richly flavoured, separating from the stone, to which it some- 

 what adheres by means of some of its fibres. Flowers, small. Leaves, 

 without glands. 



An American peach, ripe from the middle to the end of August. 

 The tree, like many of the glandless-leaved peaches, is very liable to 

 mildew. 



EARLY VICTORIA. Fruit, medium sized, roundish, marked on 

 one side with a shallow suture. Skin, very thin, pale yellow on the 

 shaded side, and dark dull maroon on the side next the sun. Flesh, 

 yellowish white, very tender, melting, and very juicy, with a sweet and 

 luscious flavour. Flowers, large. Leaves, without glands. 



A first-rate early peach, ripening in the beginning of August. It 

 forces well. At Teddington, Mr. R. D. Blackmore says, it is not worth 

 growing. 



It was raised by Mr. Rivers from Early York, than which it is rather earlier, and 

 was named in honour of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. 



Early Vineyard. See Grosse Mignonne. 



EARLY YORK. Fruit, medium sized, roundish inclining to ovate, 

 marked on one side with a shallow suture. Skin, very thin, delicate 

 greenish white, dotted with red in the shade, but dark red next the sun. 

 Flesh, greenish white, melting, very juicy, vinous, and richly flavoured. 

 Flowers, large. Leaves, without glands. 



One of the best early peaches. Ripe in the beginning and middle of 

 August. An objection to the Early York is that the tree is so liable 

 to mildew, like most of the glandless-leaved varieties. A preferable 

 form of it is a seedling raised from it by Mr. Rivers, which has glands 

 on the leaves. The tree of this does not suffer from mildew, and the 

 fruit is exactly the same as that of Early York. See Rivers 's Early 

 York. Mr. Blackmore says it does not do well at Teddington.
