Miller and Forsyth quote the *' Piivie blanc^^ of Duha- 

 mel, which is the Magdalen clingstone of the present work, 

 as a synonyme of this variety ; the justice of which appli- 

 cation I have not sufficiently tested to enable me to affirm or 

 Contradict. This is one of the best early clingstones. The 

 form is round ; the size medium ; the colour a fine red next 

 the sun, and white on the other side ; the flesh is white, with 

 some red next the stone ; firm, rich, very jiiicy and vinous 

 when at perfect maturity, and like other clingstone varieties, 

 it should be allowed to become fully ripe, for otherwise it is 

 impossible to form a just estimate of the fruits of this class. 



The tree is productive, and the fruit matures in August; 

 The " New-York Early Newington" of Coxe, is probably 

 synonymous with the kind I have just described. The French 

 Pavie Newington has large flowers : I have not yet seen ripe 

 fruit of it.

 where it is deep red. In quality it is melting, jnicy, exceed-
