ill this country. It appears to have been introduced, a few 

 years ago, by Mr. Neil, who sold two of the plants to Mr. 

 Padiey tor five guineas ; hence it has obtained Mr. Padley*s 

 name, as well as that of Mr. Neil. It is much grown, as 

 M. Noisette has informed me, by the gardeners of Mon- 

 treuil, and known to them as the Peche du Vin.

This very handsome and excellent Peach has been sold 

 by Mr. Ronalds of Brentford, under the name of Brentford 

 Mignonne, who informs me it was raised by a friend of his 

 from seed. Its characters being those of the Bellegarde, 

 that name has been assigned it in preference to that of a 

 Mignonne.
