ABRICOTEE DE BRAUNAU (Rdne Claude Braunau). — Fruit, 

 large ; roundish, and slightly oval, rather flattened on the sides, and 

 marked with a suture, which is deep towards the stalk, and higher on 

 one side than the other. Skin, whitish green, covered with a thick 

 white bloom on the shaded side, and reddish, with some spots of deeper 

 red, on the side next the sun. Stalk, an inch long, thick. Flesh, 

 separating from the stone, yellow, firm, juicy, sweet, sugary, and richly

 separates freely from the stone.

 the dessert ; ripe the beginning of September. Tree, a strong and 

 vigorous grower. Young shoots, smooth.
