A very good clingstone nectarine, of English origin. It 

 should be allowed to hang on the tree till it begins to shrivel, 

 when the flavour is much improved. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit rather large, round- 

 ish. Skin pale greenish-yellow, nearly covered with red, 

 marbled with dark red. Flesh firm, pale, but deep red next the 

 stone, juicy, sweet and rich, with an excellent vinous flavour. 

 Ripens about the 10th of September. Flowers large

The Early Newington is one of the best of clingstone necta- 

 rines. It is not only a richer flavoured fruit than the old New- 

 ington, but it is larger, dark coloured, and earlier. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit large, roundish, 

 ovate, a little enlarged on one side of the suture, and termi- 

 nating with an acute swollen point at the top. Skin pale green 

 in its ground, but nearly covered with bright red, much mar- 

 bled and mottled with very dark red, and coated with a thin 

 bloom. Flesh greenish white, but deep red at the stone, juicy, 

 sugary, rich and very excellent. Beginning of September. 

 Flowors large.
