mildew : others say there is a difference, because the 

 latter is the one that is most subject to it. The fact 

 is, the same tree will mildew in one season, and not 

 in another. A remedy, or at least a preventive in 

 a great measure, for this, is to keep the borders 

 clear and in good condition, and to see that there 

 be nothino- to obstruct a free circulation of air, and 

 a full admission of sun. 



In addition to the synonyms above enumerated, 

 it is extremely probable that Lord Fauconberg's 

 Mignonne, the Early Royal George of the north 

 of England, and the Grandville Peach, are the 

 same. It is also almost beyond a doubt, that the 

 Madeleine Rouge a petites fleurs of the French, is 

 the origin of the whole of them. 

 Flowers small. 

 Leaves serrated, glandless. 

 Fruit large, globular, moderately deeply marked 

 by the suture along one side, with generally a slight 

 depression on the summit. Skin dark purplish red 

 where most exposed ; the shaded side is whitish ; 

 the intermediate space between the shaded and 

 most exposed part is thickly mottled with small 

 red dots. Flesh white, rayed with red next the 

 stone, melting, rich, with a plentiful, highly-sugared 

 juice. Stone middle-sized, or rather small, and of 

 a red colour, parting from the flesh. 



It may be added, as a curious fact, that the con- 

 clusions at which Mr. Thompson has arrived are 

 deduced from an examination of twenty fruiting 

 trees, of which six were received by the Horticultural 

 Society under wrong names.
