MILLER and Forsyth quote the " Pavie blanc" of Duha- 

 mel, which is the Magdalen clingstone of the present work, 

 as a synonyme of this variety ; the justice of which appli- 

 cation I have not sufficiently tested to enable me to affirm or 

 contradict. This is one of the best early clingstones* The 

 form is round ; the size medium ; the colour a fine red next 

 the sun, and white on the other side ; the flesh is white, with 

 some red next the stone ; firm, rich, very juicy and vinous 

 when at perfect maturity, and like other clingstone varieties, 

 it should be allowed to become fully ripe, for otherwise it is 

 impossible to form a just estimate of the fruits of this class. 



The tree is productive, and the fruit matures in August. 

 The " New-York Early Newington" of Coxe, is probably 

 synonymous with the kind I have just described* The French 

 Pavie Newington has large flowers : I have not yet seen ripe 

 fruit of it.
