Nectarine blanche de Weitzenfeld, according to Mayer. 



It is probable that there is no difference be- 

 tween the various kinds of White Nectarine now 

 in cultivation ; at least the differences, if they exist, 

 are so unimportant as to be little deserving of no- 

 tice. It is supposed that the sort mentioned in the 

 Transactions of the Horticultural Society under the 

 name of the Cowdray White, is a rather large kind. 



Ripens in August and September, and is re- 

 markable for its fine, rich flavour and abundant 

 juice. 



This variety is not noticed by Miller. 



LEAVES broad, crenated, with reniform glands. 



FLOWERS large. 



FRUIT middle-sized, roundish, very pale yel- 

 lowish green, becoming almost white in the shade, 

 and slightly tinged with red next the sun. FLESH 

 tender and juicy, with a fine vinous flavour. STONE 

 rather small, adhering to the flesh.
