OF APRICOTS. 8 



4. Roman. Langley Pom. tab, 15, f, 4. This 

 is larger than the Algier, rounder, of a deep yel- 

 low, and not quite so juicy. It is ripe about the 

 middle or latter end of August. 



5. Turkey. Langley Pom, tab, 15, f,^. This 

 is larger, and of a deeper colour, than the Roman ; 

 its shape more globular, and the flesh firmer and 

 drier. It ripens about the latter end of August. 



6. Breda. (Brought thence to England). This 

 is originally from Africa. It is large, round, and of 

 a deep yellow colour ; the flesh is soft and juicy. 

 This is an excellent fruit, especially if ripened on 

 a standard. It ripens about the latter end of 

 August. 



7. Brussels. Pom, Aust, tab, 57. This is held 

 in very great esteem on account of its bearing so 

 well on standards, or large dwarfs. It is of a 

 middling size, red towards the sun, with many 

 dark spots ; and of a greenish yellow on the other 

 side. This has a brisk flavour, is not liable to be 

 mealy or doughy, and is preferred by many to the 

 Breda ; but when the Breda is planted as a stand- 

 ard, the fruit is more juicy and of a richer flavour. 

 This ripens in August on a wall, but not before 

 the latter end of September on standards. 



8. Moor Park. Hooker Pom, Lond, tab, 9. 

 This is called also Anson's, Temple's, and Dun- 

 more's Breda. This is a fine fruit, and ripens about 

 the latter end of August. 



9. Peach Apricot ; Apricot of Nancy, Duham. 

 n, 10. t, 16. Pom, Franc, l.p, 37. /. 7. f, 10. Pom.
