NECTARINES. 125 



clining to ovate. Skin pale green, mottled with red on 

 the shaded side ; but entirely covered with deep, bright 

 red on the side next the sun. Flesh with a greenish tinge, 

 veined with red at the stone, melting, very rich, and highly 

 flavoured. Mowers small. Glands kidney-shaped. 



A very excellent variety, nearly allied to Violette 

 Hative, but is much hardier and a more vigorous grower 

 than that variety. It ripens in the end of August and 

 beginning of September.

BOSTON (Lewis' ; Perkins Seedling). Fruit very large, 

 roundish oval. Skin bright yellow on the shaded side, 

 and deep red on the side next the sun. Flesh yellow, 

 without any red at the stone, with an agreeable, but not 

 rich, flavour. Flowers small. Glands round. 



Remarkable only for the size and beauty of the fruit, 

 which ripens in the middle of September ; and requires a 

 warm season to bring it to maturity. It is an American 

 variety. 



BOWDEN. This is a very large variety, of a round 

 shape. Skin greenish on the shaded side, dark red next 

 the sun, and with a disposition to be russety. The flesh 

 is melting, rich, and sugary, with a slightly astringent 

 flavour. Glands none. Flowers large. Ripe in August. 



The tree is a very dwarf and compact grower.

DOWNTON. Fruit rather larger than Violette Hative, 

 roundish oval. Skin pale green in the shade, but deep 

 red next the sun. Flesh pale green, reddish at the stone, 

 melting, juicy, and richly flavoured. Glands kidney- 

 shaped. Flowers small. 



A first-rate variety, ripe in the end of August and be- 

 ginning of September. The tree is a vigorous grower, 

 and an excellent bearer. It was raised by Mr. ICnight 

 from the Elruge and Violette Hative. 



Due DU TELLIERS (Due de Tello ; Dutillys). This 

 variety bears a close resemblance to Elruge, with which 

 it is, by some, considered synonymous. It is, no doubt,
