PEACHES. 147 



SPRINGROVE. Fruit medium sized. Skin pale green 

 in the shade, bright red next the sun. Exce'lent, 

 very much resembles Acton Scot. Flowers large. 

 Glands round. End of August and beginning of Sep- 

 tember. 



Steward's Late Galande. See Chancellor. 



SULHAMSTEAD. Fruit roundish, depressed. Skin pale 

 yellowish-green, with fine red next the sun. Flesh very 

 excellent. This very much resembles the Noblesse. 

 Flowers large. Glands none. End of August and be- 

 ginning of September. 



Superb. See Royal George. 



Superb Royal. See G-rosse Mignonne. 



TETON DE VENUS. Fruit elongated, larger than the 

 Boudin, but much paler, having but little colour next 

 the sun, and pale yellowish- white in the shade, surmounted 

 by a large turgid nipple. Flesh white, red at the stone, 

 delicate, sugary, and very rich. Flowers small. Glands 

 round. End of September. 



This is quite distinct from Late Admirable. 



VANGUARD. This is a variety of Noblesse, and so 

 similar to it that the fruits cannot be distinguished the 

 one from the other. The only apparent distinction is in 

 the habit of the trees, which in Vanguard is much more 

 robust and hardy than in the Noblesse ; and the maiden 

 plants rise with a prominent leader, while the Noblesse, 

 makes a roundheaded bush. Glands none. Flowers 

 large. 



Veloutee Tardive. See Nivette. 



VIOLETTE HATIVE (English Galande; Hardy Galande). 

 This is evidently a variety of Bellegarde or French 

 Galande, but is not so large in the fruit, and of a paler 

 colour, although it also is of dark red colour next the sun. 

 It may readily be distinguished by nurserymen ; as it 

 grows freely on the Muscle, while the Bellegarde requires 

 the Pear-Plum or Brompton stock. It is a large and 

 very excellent peach, ripening in the middle of Septem- 

 ber. Glands round. Flowers small. 



WALBURTON ADMIRABLE. Fruit large and round. 

 Skin pale yellowish-green on the shaded side, and crim- 

 son, mottled with a darker colour, next the sun. Flesh 

 yeliowish-white, melting, juicy, rich, and highly flavoured.
