650 THE NECTARINE. 





GOLDEN. Lang. Mill. Thomp 

 Orange. Fine Gold-fleshed. 



A very handsome looking nectarine, but of decidedly indif- 

 ferent quality when compared with, many others. Its >vaxen 

 appearance, when fully ripe, is very beautiful. It is an old Eng- 

 lish variety. 



. Leaves with reniform glands. Fruit of medium size, round- 

 ish-ovate. Skin of a fine bright, waxen yellow colour, with a 

 small scarlet cheek. Flesh orange-yellow, firm, juicy, sweet, 

 and tolerably good. It ripens about the 10th of September. 

 Flowers small. 



PRINCE'S GOLDEN NECTARINE is of much larger size. It ri- 

 pens about a week later, but is also only of second quality. 

 Leaves with reniform glands. Flowers large. 



NEWINGTON. Lang. Mill. Thomp. 



Scarlet Newington. Lind. Anderson's. 

 Scarlet. Anderson's Round. 



Old Newington. Rough Roman. 



Smith's Newington. Brugnon de Newington. 



French Newington. D'Angleterre. 



Sion Hill. 



A very good clingstone nectarine, of English origin. It 

 should be allowed to hang on the tree till it begins to shrivel, 

 when the flavour is much improved. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit rather large, round- 

 ish. Skin pale greenish-yellow, nearly covered with red, mar- 

 bled with dark red. Flesh firm, pale, but deep red next the 

 stone, juicy, sweet and rich, with an excellent vinous flavour. 

 Ripens about the 10th of September. Flowers large. 



NEWINGTON EARLY. Lind. Thomp. 



Early Black Newington. Lucombe's Black. 



New Dark Newington. Lucombe's Seedling. 



New Early Newington. Early Black. 

 Black. 



The Early Newington is one of the best of clingstone necta- 

 rines. It is not only a richer flavoured fruit than the old New- 

 ington, but it is larger, dark-coloured, and earlier. 



Leaves serrated, without glands. Fruit large, roundish, ovate, 

 a little enlarged on one side of the suture, and terminating with 

 an acute swollen point at the top. Skin pale green in its 

 ground, but nearly covered with bright red, much marbled and 

 mottled with very dark red, and coated with a thin bloom. Flesh 

 greenish white, but deep red at the stone, juicy, sugary, rich and 

 very excellent. Beginning of September. Flowers large.
