tember. It requires a warm soil and situation, and is remarkably 

 adapted for forcing, when its flavour is well brought out. 



This was raised by Mr. Rivers, of Sawbridgeworth, and is a seedling from the 

 White Nectarine. 



ALBEET YICTOR.— Fruit, large, two inches and a half wide and 

 two inches high ; roundish, flattened at the crown, from which a deep 

 suture issues, which becomes more faint towards the stalk. Skin, 

 green where shaded, and mottled with dull red on the side next the 

 Bun. Flesh, greenish yellow, rather firm, very juicy, with a brisk and 

 sprightly flavour, very red next the stone, from which it separates, ex- 

 cept some fibres which adhere. Stone, large and rugged. Flowers, 

 small. Glands, round. 



A very large and handsome nectarine ; ripe in an orchard-house in 

 the end of August, and the middle and end of September against a 

 wall. The fruit often drops before it is ripe. 



It was raised by Mr. Rivers, of Sawbridgeworth, from Prince of Wales Nec-

 of August and beginning of September. 



It is of Scottish origin, and was received by the Horticultural Society from Mri

 side next the sun. Flesh, yellow, without any red at the stone, with 

 an agreeable but not rich flavour. Flowers, small. Glands, round.
