298 . NECTARINES, 



This, the Tawny Newington, and the Red Roman, 

 are the very highest flavoured nectarines in our collec- 

 tions, especially if the fruit is suffered to remain upon 

 the tree till it becomes shrivelled. 



28. TAWNY NEWINGTON. 



Tawny. G. LindL Plan of an Orchard, 1796. 



Leaves doubly serrated, without glands. Flowers 

 large. Fruit pretty large, somewhat ovate. Skin 

 yellowish or tawny-coloured, a little mottled or marbled 

 with dull red or orange on the sunny side. Flesh firm, 

 very pale yellow, or yellowish white, but very red at the 

 stone, to which it closely adheres. Juice plentiful, 

 sugary, and of the most delicious flavour. Stone broad, 

 thick, not deeply rugged. 



Ripe the beginning and middle of September. 



The wood of this and of the Scarlet Newington is 

 longer jointed, longer in its growth, and more flexuose 

 than the other Newingtons ; in the quarters of the 

 nursery the maiden plants grow in a diverging direc- 

 tion, the others are shorter jointed, and their growth 

 erect.
