Bourdine is an old French sort written of by Merlet and Quintinye. It has been 

 confused with Royale, Louis XIV having so named it on receiving it from his gardener, 

 Bourdine. Duhamel maintains that these two are distinct varieties and we have followed 

 him. Leaves with globose glands; flowers small, edged with carmine; fruit large, roundish, 

 halves unequal; suture deep and wide; skin greenish-white, blushed and marbled; flesh 

 white, ' melting, separates readily from the pit, sugary ; quality good ; stone small, nearly 

 round; ripens the middle of September.
