and violette native nectarines ; grosse mignonne, noblesse, George the Fourth, 

 Royal Charlotte, Royal George, and Bellegarde peaches. The peaches and 

 nectarines are about three weeks earlier than usual. It appears that the 

 George the Fourth peach is capable of being grown to a larger size than has 

 hitherto been represented. Oslin, summer Thorle, Borovitsky, summer golden 

 pippin, Tetofsky, and summer rose, apples. These are very good summer 

 table apples. The Oslin and summer Thorle are Scotch apples. The Oslin 

 was supposed to have been brought by the monks to the abbey of Arbroath : 

 however this might be, it has not been found among any of the foreign col- 

 lections in the garden. The Tetofsky has been received to the garden from 

 M. Call of the Taurida Gardens.

 consequently, a steadier flow of sap), white doyenne (from a wall), beurre
