thence to England ; but it was originally from Africa. 

 Miller's sort, however, is not the same as this, for he 

 describes it as being a large fruit, with a larger stone 

 than any other sort; in the latter respect, this is 

 almost the reverse. It is confused with some others 

 on the continent, as well as in this country. The 

 Abricot Peche or Moor-Park, and its affinities, have 

 probably been so called in some places. Few, how- 

 ever, can now be mistaken for it. The Orange and 

 Breda are the only two with sweet kernels, gene- 

 rally in cultivation in this country. The former 

 may be easily distinguished by its brighter orange 

 colour, and flesh adhering to the stone. The latter 

 is remarkable for its figure, being often angular, 

 as if the fruit had been pressed by close package 

 in a box. Perhaps the latter distinction is less 

 observable in a continental climate than here, and 

 hence the Orange is included among the syno- 

 nyms of the Breda, in the Pomona Franconica 

 and Austriaca. From the circumstance of the ker- 

 nel of this sort being sweet, it may be remarked, 

 in consequence, that the Ananas Apricose, a syno- 

 nym of the Breda, in the Taschenbuch, is different 

 from the Ananas Apricose of Sickler's Teutch 

 Obstgartner, b. 18, p. 30 ; the kernel of the latter 

 being described as bitter, " even although its brown 

 rind be taken off." Most probably, the Ananas 

 Apricot of this author is the Moor-Park, the Abricot 

 Pcche, or Abricot de Nancy, of the F'rench : and, 

 on the contrary, his Abricot de Nancy, having a 

 sweet kernel, differs entirely in this respect from 

 that uf the French. Sickler himself remarks the
