KINDS OF FRUITS. 171 



bearer. The fruit is small, round, red, and high- 

 flavoured when well ripened. 



6. Temple's Nectarine. This is a middle-sized 

 fruit, light-red next the sun, and pale yellow on 

 the other side. When well ripened, it shrivels, and 

 in that case is very high-flavoured. The tree grows 

 freely, and is a good bearer in general. 



All these nectarines are free-stones. The cling- 

 stones are not fit for culture in these kingdoms, at 

 least in the open air, for want of climate. 



PEACHES. 



1. Red Magdalen. This is a beautiful, middle- 

 sized fruit, of a dark-red colour next the sun. Its 

 flavour is equalled by none of the peach kind. The 

 tree is a free grower, and a great bearer ; and it is, 

 upon the whole, the best peach we have, either for 

 the open air, or the hot-house. 



2. Nobksse. An excellent peach ; larger than 

 the above, and not so high-coloured. More juicy, 

 but not so high-flavoured. Also a free grower, and 

 a good bearer. 



2. Montauban. Very good ; but inferior to either 

 of the above. The fruit is large, and dark-red, or 

 purplish, next the sun. 



4. Admirable. A handsome large fruit, but more 

 delicate than the Red Magdalen ; nor is it so good 

 a bearer, or so high-flavoured. 



5. White Magdalen. This peach is middle-sized, 

 and of a pale colour ; juicy, and pretty high-flavour- 

 ed, if well ripened. The tree is a tolerably good
