yellow next the wall ; but of a pale red, shaded with light 

 scarlet or deep crimson on the sunny side. Flesh pale 

 yellow, but red at the stone, to which it closely adheres.

The Pavie Admirable is now, for the first time, made a 

 synonym of the Incomparable, the latter having been es- 

 tablished in Mr. Aiton's Epitome. The name of Pavie 

 Admirable is no where to be found, I believe, previously to 

 its insertion in my Plan of an Orchard, published in 1796, 

 whence it was copied into Mr. Forsyth's book, in 1802.

Leaves crenate, with reniform glands. Flowers large, 

 and crumpled at their margins. Fruit very large, some-

 the base to the apex, which narrowed, and terminates with 

 an obtuse nipple. Skin yellowish white next the wall ; but 

 on the exposed side of a deep intense red, a lighter part 

 of which reaches nearly round the fruit. Flesh firm, yel- 

 lowish white, but very red at the stone, to which it closely 

 adheres. Stone small in proportion to the size of the fruit. 



Ripe in a warm and dry season the middle or towards the 

 end of October, when the flavour is pretty good ; but in cold 

 seasons it will not ripen abroad in this country.
