times measuring fourteen inches in circumference, some-> 

 what oval, with a well defined suture extending from 

 the base to the apex, which narrowed, and terminates 

 with an obtuse nipple. Skin yellowish white next the 

 wall; but on the exposed side of a deep intense red, a 

 lighter part of which reaches nearly round the fruit. 

 Flesh firm, yellowish white, but very red at the stone, 

 to which it closely adheres. Stone small in proportion 

 to the size of the fruit. 



Ripe in a warm and dry season the middle or towards 

 the end of October, when the flavour is pretty good ; 

 but in cold seasons it will not ripen abroad in this 

 country. 



DUHAMEL says, they have in France " a Red Pavie, 

 but which differs so little from the preceding one, that 

 it can scarcely be considered as a variety ; nevertheless 

 it ripens earlier, and is not so large. It is flattened at 

 the apex, where the extremity of the suture forms a 

 hollow, no nipple being perceptible. It is very round 

 at the stalk, which is placed in an oval hollow, not very 

 wide, but very deep/* The colour appears to be similar 

 to the other, and probably no real difference exists when 

 both are budded upon the same sort of stock, and grown 

 upon the same wall. This, in all cases, is the only cer- 

 tain test, and on which reliance can be safely placed.
