NECTARINES. 



Ripe from the end of August to the middle of Sep- 

 tember. 



This is a most excellent Nectarine, and ought to be 

 found in every good collection of fruit. 



The Triolet Hative, although of French origin, has 

 long been known in this country under the name of 

 Violet simply. As the French find the necessity of this 

 designation, it is adopted here, because there are other 

 Violette Nectarines which require appellations to dis- 

 tinguish them one from another ; besides there appears 

 no good reason for reducing a definitive name in this 

 case, any more than there would be in those of the 

 Avants, the Mignonnes, and the Madeleines among 

 the peaches. All our practical gardeners write for the 

 Violet Hative if they want this fruit.

The Newington Nectarine, as well as all others be-

 the skin begins to shrivel.
