288 NECTARINES. 



stone, from which it parts freely. Stone middle-sized, 

 oval, slightly pointed, pale, in which it differs from the 

 Violet Hative, the stone of which is deep red. 



Ripe the end of August and beginning of September. 



It is difficult to explain why the name of Elruge 

 should have been given to this nectarine. The true Elruge 

 has been so well described by Miller, that it appears 

 marvellous the misapplication of its name should not 

 have been discovered many years ago ; and, what is still 

 more surprising, the original fruit is, perhaps, no where 

 now to be found. It will be described under the name 

 of Miller's Elruge.
