A SPLENDID NEW LATE PEACH. 



ORTON'S " WALBERTON ADMIRABLE."— 



This splendid variety was raised at Walberton House, in 

 Sussex, the seat of R. Prime, Esq. It is a Seedling from the 

 Noblesse, which it much resembles, both in size and colour. 

 It possesses all the fine qualities of its parent, but its great 

 merit arises from its ripening full five weeks later. A specimen 

 of its fruit was sent to Dr. Lixni.KV in 1841, from whom were 

 received the highest testimonials of approbation. The tree i* 

 a fine, free, and hardy grower; the fruit is full-sized, melting, 

 and excellent-flavoured, rendering it a truly desirable va- 

 riety, and one which no good garden ought to be without. 

 Good one year's trained plants can be obtained of Alexander 

 Webb, Nurseryman, Westergate, near Arundel, Sussex ; at 

 Messrs. Hay, Anderson, and Sanoster's, Newington Butts ; 

 and also at Messrs. Hurst and M'Ml'llk.v's, 6, Leadeuhall- 

 itreet, London, at 10s. 6rf. each ; a few strong plants at 15s. 

 each. The usual allowance to the Trade when three or more 

 are taken, and carriage paid to London. Remittance from 

 unknown correspondents is required.
