No. 3. The Minion is a large red Peach ; its fkin is 

 like fattin; its flefh is fine and melting, with a briik 

 fweet juice : the fhape is longifli, with a furrow in the 

 middle, and generally one fide larger than the other; the 

 Hone is fmall. The tree grows with vigour. I have found 

 it fubje6t to be killed by fevere froft happening late in 

 fpring or in fummer. 



No. 4. The Montauban Peach is very large, red, when 

 expoled to the fun, but pale towards the wall: its pulp 

 is free, and its juice delicious. The tree is hardy, grows 

 regularly, fo is eafily trained to the wall, on which it 

 looks handfome, and bears plentifully. 



No. 5. The Noblefs Peach exceeds the Montauban 

 Peach in fiz,e ; the pulp quits the flone, is melting, and 

 the tafte excellent. The tree produces its branches in a 

 very regular manner, is hardy and durable, and generally 

 a good bearer. 



No. 6. The old Ne-wington is a Britifh Peach original- 

 ly; it is large and beautiful, the pulp is firm, and flicks 

 to the flone ; its juice is briflc, and w^ell relifhed : the 

 tree is hardy, and bears well. 



No. 7. The Admirable is large and round, of a fine red 

 colour, the pulp firm and melting, its juice brilk. and 

 fweet, its rtone fmall, it comes to perfedlion when hap- 

 pily fituated, even in bad feafons. The tree is beautiful 

 and hardy, and bears a great deal of truit.

 dling fize, has a melting pulp, and vinous juice.

 colour all round ; its fubftance is firm, cf a yellow co- 

 lour, and the tafle very agreeable.

 iind the pulp good. The tree is hardy, and a good bearer. 



APRICOTS.

 This tree is known by the fmallnefs of its wood and leaves. 



No. 2. The Brujfelles is large, its juice brilk and agree- 

 able. The trees arc commonly hardy, and for the moil 

 part good bearers when old.
