NE PLUS ULTEA. A fine early variety, derived 

 from the Giant Naples, having well- filled heads, 

 often nine inches in diameter. Highly recom- 

 mended by Wolfner and Wiesz of Vienna, but lit- 

 tle grown in this country. 



NONPAEEIL. In most American catalogues this is 

 given as synonymous with Half Early Paris. Buist 

 and Bawson catalogue it as a separate variety, and 

 Brill mentioned it in 1872 as a distinct variety.

 variety called Thor burn's Nonpareil matured among 

 the half -early sorts at the same time as Lenormand 

 Short- stem. J. M. Thorburn & Co. write me 

 in 1891 that Nonpareil is a name which they gave 

 to the Half Early Paris when they first introduced 

 that variety to the trade in this country.
