any French work, or mentioned in any French catalogue. It has been cultivated 

 in this country for upwards of a century and a half, and as I liave recently dis-

 of those eminent Dutch merchants who were distinguished as some of our greatest 

 patrons of gardening in the time of Queen Anne and George the First.

PAVIE BONNEUIL. — Fruit, medium sized, roundish, with a 

 nipple at the apex, marked on one side with a wide and rather deep

This is a very late clingstone peach, which does not ripen against 

 a wall in the open air tiU the second week in November, and after being 

 gathered keeps long in the fruit-room. For orchard-house culture it 

 may be well adapted on account of its lateness.
