in the end of August and beginning of September. Tree 

 an excellent bearer.

EIVEBS' OEANGE. This is a seedling raised from Pit- 

 maston Orange, and differs from its parent in having 

 kidney-shaped instead of round glands. The fruit is 

 similar to that of Pitmaston Orange, and very richly 

 flavoured; and the tree, in Mr. Eivers' estimation, 13 

 more robust in its habit, bears, perhaps, more profusely, 

 and is hardier than that variety. 



EoMAN (Bntynon Musqiie ; Brugnon Violette Musquc : 

 Old Roman; Red Roman}. Fruit large, roundish, 

 flattened at the top. Skin greenish-yellow, brown muddy 

 red, and rough with russety specks next the sun. Flesh 

 greenish-yellow, deep red at the stone, to which it 

 adheres, rich, juicy, and with a highly vinous flavour, 

 particularly when allowed to hang 'till it shrivels. 

 Flowers large. Glands kidney-shaped. Beginning of 

 September. 



In many collections Violette Hative and Elruge are 

 grown for this variety ; but from both of these it is readily 

 distinguished by its flowers, which are large.

STANWICK. Fruit large, roundish oval. Skin pale 

 lively green where shaded, and purplish-red where ex- 

 posed to the sun. Flesh white, melting, rich, sugary, 

 and most delicious. Kernel sweet, like that of the sweet 

 almond. Glands kidney-shaped. Flowers large. Ripe 

 the middle and end of September. 



The fruit is very apt to crack, and requires to b.e grown 

 under glass. Hitherto it has generally failed to ripen 

 thoroughly against walls in the open air, except in one 

 or two instances, with which I am acquainted, where 

 grown in a light sandy soil and a good exposure, it then 

 ripened thoroughly without cracking.
