PEACHES. 323 



Nottingham Prolific. See Pearson's Prolific. 



PEARSON'S PROLIFIC {Dwarf Prolific; Nottingham Prolific). 

 — Husk, hairy, shorter than the nut. Nut, medium sized, and smaller 

 than the Coh ; obtusely ovate. Shell, rather thick. Kernel, full. 



A very excellent variety. The trees are most abundant bearers, 

 and I have seen them not more than two feet and a half high, laden 

 with fruit. 



PURPLE FILBERT (Purple-Uaved).— This differs from the Red 

 Filbert in having the leaves of a dark blood-red colour, like those of 

 the Purple Beech. The fruit is similar to, and quite as good as, that 

 of the Red Filbert, and is of a deep purple colour. It is, therefore, 

 not only valuable as an ornamental shrub, but produces excellent 

 fruit. 



RED FILBERT (Bed Hazel). —Rusk, hairy, longer than the nut. 

 Nut, of medium size, ovate. Shell, thick. Kernel, full, covered with 

 a red skin. 



Round Cob. See Cob. 



Thin-shelled. See Cosford. 



WHITE FILBERT {Wrotham Park).— Rnsk, hairy, longer than 

 the n#), round the apex of which it is contracted. Nut, medium 

 sized, ovate. Shell, thick. Kernel, fuU, and covered with a white 

 skin.
