The Early Orleans is very near like the foregoing in all re- 

 spects, except that it ripens ten days earlier. 



Branches downy. Fruit of the size and colour of the com- 

 mon Orleans, a little more oval, and with a more shallow suture. 

 Skin a little marbled. Flesh yellowish-green, of brisk flavour, 

 rather richer than the old Orleans, and separates from the stone. 

 A good bearer. 



Wilmot's New Early Orleans, {Wilmofs Large Orleans^ 

 &c.,) so strongly resembles the foregoing in appearance, time 

 of ripening, etc., as to be scarcely worthy of a separate description.
